Unable to edit & sync contacts : Address book (Gmail) Authentication failed

Address book (Gmail) Authentication failed

Summary

I add a Gmail account, I can sync my emails, my contacts are downloaded but when I do a modification of a contact it doesn't sync modifications, there is a sync error : Address Book (xxx@gmail.com CQ) Authentication failed (check login credentials). But I can't check it as it uses (I guess) my automatic authentication and I cannot edit Google's credentials.

Steps to reproduce

1- Add a Google Address Book using "Contacts app" (or from Mail or from Users & Accounts). 2- It creates a xxx@gmail.com (Google) in Users & Accounts 3- It creates an email account in "Mail" and after a while it sync contacts 4- Edit a contact from phone, wait for it : Address Book (xxx@gmail.com CQ) Authentication failed (check login credentials)

What is the current behavior?

Gmail account in contacts doesn't accept updates from phone to server

What is the expected correct behavior?

Being able to sync contacts updates to server.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Here is a log, I've replaced my email by xxx@gmail.com and I hope all contacts details by "Contact name", "Contact phone" etc. ContactSync.txt
