Following, as I just did a fresh install of TB and can't get a version of provider, yet. Only works up to 52.0

[Drew Dudley]

Having the same issue.

I too have the same issue with version 3.3 on Thunderbird 52.2.1 (64-bit) on my Linux Mint 18.2 (64-bit) laptop:
This add-on is not compatible with your version of Thunderbird.

[Michael Witten]

I just had to re-install and now can't get my calendars back. Seems this hasn't worked since at least version 52.1 which was April. Is a fix coming or is this project no longer maintained? I just sent the dev an email, so hopefully can get a response.

[Roger Vicker]

I just had to reinstall after a hard disk crash. After putting in the txt'd code the usual Google "Access screen..." briefly displays and doesn't wait for me to acknowledge it. For me the list of calendars never loads as well as never getting the next button active.

Thunderbird 52.4.0
Provider for Google 3.3
Lightning 5.4

Google does not list Provider as an App with access.

[Dario Mangoni]

I get the same issue after every Thunderbird update, but looking around on the web I found that there is some sort of GData Provider distribution that comes attached to Lightning (or at least this seems from the following url).
It is some sort of Lightning releases server and, for each Lightning build, there is also a GData Provider installer.
The main repository is here:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/

but you have to browse down to candidates/<packageversion>/build<n>/<OS>/gdata-provider-<version>.xpi

at the time I write, I solved the issue installing this version:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/candidates/5.9b1-candidates/build2/win32/gdata-provider-3.8b1.en-US.win32.xpi

However, you have to browse from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/ parent folder in order to get the latest build that may be compatible with your Lightning/Thunderbird version.
Hope to be of some help also for others hitting the same issue.

Regards,
Dario
