ICloud Sync is broken (Account Setup: 401 Error)

[AutoImport-ben-8409]

I wanted to use DAVdroid (which works fine for other services for me) to sync my iCloud Contacts. But i get a 401: Unauthorized in Account setup. Same settings and login details work with CardDav Sync.

[rfc2822]

Which settings and login details did you use? Please also provide logcat output.

Did you try these instructions? https://gist.github.com/anonymous/16b5953cf270495fc2ca

OK, I determined (not by the above method - there is no such “Share” button) by looking at the ~/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist file that I am using server p02, so I tried Base URL: https://p02-contacts.icloud.com and still get “HTTP error: 401 Unauthorized”…

Uninstalled and did a refund, unless I hear an answer. Not everyone is familiar with Github - you should really have a support forum!

@flaxton These instructions are not applicable anymore.

Just use icloud.com as domain, as described on https://davdroid.bitfire.at/configuration. Did you use the configuration mentioned there?:

Email: youraccount@icloud.com
Non-@icloud.com accounts: https:// icloud.com

Uninstalled and did a refund, unless I hear an answer. Not everyone is familiar with Github - you should really have a support forum!

We consider payments in commercial stores as donations for the open-source software DAVdroid as you may also download the APK directly from Github or F-droid without paying anything.

Thank you for getting back to me.

OK, I think the problem occurred when I had enabled Apple two-factor authentication some time ago.

I had been using iCloud Sync for Android, and then found it had not synced in more than a month. It did not immediately occur to me that it could be Apple iCloud two-factor authentication that had changed, since it had been some time since I had turned it on (probably the last successful sync, now that I look at it). That is what led me to try DAVdroid - I just thought that the iCloud Sync for Android had updated and broken itself.

I turned iCloud two-factor authentication off and then iCloud Sync for Android worked, where it was getting the same error message as DAVdroid before. So I did not go any further, as that was what led me to DAVdroid in the first place.

You might want to turn on iCloud two-factor authentication and see if DAVdroid works with it on. I bet it won’t.

Thanks!

Fred
