Bug Description

I have added a Google App Account (mail & calendar) to Evolution but it only synchronizes the mail.
It only shows, in status bar, "Opening <calendar name>" but nothing more. I'm wait several hours and nothing.
I try to add one appointment to Google Calendar from Evolution but when I save it, Evolution assigns it to local calendar.

Ok, I close Evolution and open again an now it works. But now it doesn't close. I have to kill it.

If you enabled 2-step verification on your Google's account try to create an application specific password and use that when requested by Evolution Calendar and Gnome.
I was experiencing the exact same problem.

Affects me as well. I can only add my organization's main calendar, not any of the other ones. This is pathetic. It also takes forever for whatever it is doing to fail.
