Adding a Google account for calendar purposes on iOS 8.3 I'm trying to add a Google account for use with the native calendar app on a new iPhone with iOS 8.3.  This Google account does not have Gmail set up for it, but I am using it for Google calendar.

With another iPhone running 8.1.3, I can go to "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", and "Add Account."  I select "Google" and see a screen like this:



I can enter my Google account information and hit next.  I get an error that says that e-mail won't work:



But I can hit Save anyway, and on the next feature select screen, I can turn off Mail and leave on Calendars.  At this point, I can use my Google calendars in the iOS Calendar app.

With the new phone on iOS 8.3, here is what the new Google Add Account screen looks like, apparently showing a webpage from Google:



Next, I get an "Accept" screen like this:



After clicking "Accept", I am taken to the feature select screen for the account; however, everything is grayed out:



After a few seconds, it times out and sends me back to the first Add Account screen, failing to add the account, but giving no error message.

Is this a bug in iOS 8.3?  Is there a different way I need to add this no-Gmail Google account to the Calendar app?
Have you tried the following on your iOS device:

Add Account &gt; Other &gt; Add CalDAV Calendar


Then enter your credentials:



Server: google.com
Username: Enter the email address of the associated Google account.
Password: Enter the password that is associated with the Google account from above.
Description: Purely for information. Enter a description of the account.


This should work when only using the Calendar on a Google Account.
