Addition to my former text:
I found a way to install Google Calender 1.0.1 (after it was deinstalled):
- download the xpi file from this website
- rename it (simpe name: e.g. Google_calender)
- open addons menu in Thunderbird
- drag and drop the xpi file in addons menu
- restart Thunderbird
- add new calender...

Love this Add-on! Have come to depend upon it. Thank you for your work!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1).You say you removed the Provider version 0.25, as far as I remember I don't have any code to influence reminders in that version. Could you try updating to 1.0.1? I've made a lot of reminder changes there. For support please use the support forum link or email.

Avec la version 1.0 j'ai réussi à faire apparaitre les calendriers principaux. Comment ?
J'ai exporté l'agenda suivant la méthode sur cette page https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37111?hl=fr&topic=1672003
puis supprimé tout les évènements du même agenda
et importé l'agenda "basic.ics" dans le même agenda suivant la méthode https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37118?hl=fr&topic=1672003&ctx=topic
En plus, vous pourrez ajouter des tâches synchronisées avec votre compte google.

I'm a long time user too. Now I have error: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-unifinder.js:531 and my TB hangs. Please help. I can't live without it. :)

I'm a long-time user of Provider for Google Calendar. Yesterday I began having the same problems everyone else is complaining about. I was using an outdated version of TBird and Lightning and Provider. I upgraded each, including Provider .32. Unsubscribed from all three calendars Google calenders. Re-subscribed to each using Private XML for 2 (bi-directional) and Public XML (read only) for one, and everything is working perfectly again.
No surprises in all of this... just a normal matter of carefully upgrading and redoing things which happens with all kinds of software.
To those who are disgruntled, keep on trying: Provider really does work very well.

Yes it's work, but I must erase and new create my calendars. New is very easy loaded from my google account.

I use the Add-on "Provider for Google Calendar" since a long time. It worked always very well!
The Update to 1.0 had a bug. I have installed the old version 0.32 and it worked perfekt again.
I wrote a mail to Philip. The support with email is perfect!
He send me the version 1.0.1. And also this version works perfect.
Thanks Philipp for your great work and thaks for providing the add-on!

Have come to rely on my calendar within lightning, but the upgrade wiped everything! have tried downgrading back to .25 but get only 2-3 error messages . What is the fix for this? I'm just a regular person not a superuser, so are there step-by-step instructions somewhere to bring back my calendar?
UPDATE - Hey Philipp - THANKS, it really did work (I was just an idiot the 1st time in skipping a key step,duhhh). Thanks for speedy reply & help. Cheers!
Sorry this is happening. You will need to remove the calendars locally and re-subscribe using the usual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-lightning-google-calendar

Deinstalled v1 and reinstalled .25 but didn't work... had to remove everything including the local files in 'calendar-data'... reinstalled .25 and couple restarts, and now it works. Plus, it magically retrieved the categories... not sure if they are stored as metadata on Google's calendar or some local DB that was preserved in the process.
However, this process takes a long time as the add-on needs to recreate it's cache file in "profile > calendar-data". It took me almost two hours.

with the newest upgrade I am not getting any google calendar at all. I am getting an error about "quotaExceeded"??? Never got that before. Also, I have been requested to signin ,my email and my secondary calendar account email as well. can you please fix. I have to resort to using Google online until thunderbird calendar is fixed.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.32).I'm working on upping the quota, but its not something that happens instantly. I didn't expect this amount of requests. For now, please downgrade to 0.32 or 0.25 (depending on your Thunderbird version) and re-subscribe to your calendars.
I've taken down version 1.0 for just this reason.

For those who had also problems since yesterday with this plug-in I may have a solution. For me it was simple, just update Thunderbird and/or Lighting and also reinstall this add-on so you have the latest version 0.32.

Since every entry was duplicated, I removed every calendar and added it again. This solved the problem. Add-on: 1.0.

Today there was a request to sign into my google account.
Now the calendar has every entry duplicated. Is this my problem or has something changed at your end?
Its a problem on my end. I have a preliminary version 1.0.1 that fixes this, but until the quota issues are fixed I'd suggest downgrading to 0.32 or 0.25.

Wouldn't it be possible to integrate this into Lightning proper (as an opt-in option or something) rather than developing separately?

After Years of trouble-free use, yesterday the add-on was updated. Since then, on every start of Thunderbird (with Lightning) HTML-windows with Google login-pages open for every Google-calendar-account, asking for login-name and password. But the input is not accepted, it says cookies would be disabled. So no synchronized calendar is loaded.
So I had to search for the enable-cookies-option in Thunderbird - I didn't now that an e-mail-client has this option.
After enabling cookies the log-in worked and Google asked to accept the access of provider_for_google_calendar. I agreed and the calendars where shown again.
The appointments of one calendar where shown twice, but this could have an other cause...

I have used this for many years and it is invaluable. Thanks to Phillipp for fixing the recent hic-cup very promptly.

Got the same issue as dryang where upon launching Thunderbird a window constantly pops up asking for Google credentials. Going into Preferences > Privacy and turning on cookie tracking solved the issue. Solid plugin with good customization options.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.32).You can enable cookies in the Thunderbird preferences dialog under security.

With the latest update every time I launch thunderbird a popup window appears asking me for Gmail credentials + authenticator code. It sure is annoying.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.32).To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
