title: C# application - Read Google Contacts
body: <p>Since Google stopped support for their older Auth, and now we have to use oAuth 2, our simple desktop application can no longer read contacts from my google account. </p>
  
  <p>Fine - i understand this, however this new oAuth 2 is extraordinarily complicated... and im not talking about from a developer perspective. From what i am reading online. We now have to make our customers jump over a multitude of hoops in order for our simple application to read contacts stored in their Google mail/Contacts.</p>
  
  <p>My iPhone seems to be able to sync contacts just fine with just the typical email and password that i entered about a year ago. How do they get it to work? and yet with my simple desktop application, the client has to be rummaging around in Google Developer sites and with API settings etc. I'm a developer and im confused!! - could you imagine what my customer is going to go through... it cant be this complicated.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anyone who can give me the simple 1,2,3 to get a C# desktop application to go off and get the contacts (read-only) from a particular Gmail account... with the <strong>least</strong> amount of fiddling around (for the owner of the Gmail account).</p>
  
  <p>Ill do all the hard work in the application - i just don't want to client to have to spend an hour authorizing and creating API's and clicking around in a developer site (he/she is NOT a developer).</p>
