Authentication for Google APIs requires that users sign in via OAuth 2. There is no longer support for authenticating users by providing a username and password to the API server.

You mean that we must use webview to finish the login step?
But I have used one application that can use username and application-spesific passwords  to login.

Older Google APIs did support a username/password protocol for authenticating users, called ClientLogin. For security reasons, that protocol is considered deprecated, and does not work with newer APIs.
