Q: CardDav sync issue after upgrading to 10.11.2
-
Jan 13, 2016 2:02 AMby LC Vie,The reason for the spinning wheel seems to be a sandbox issue. Check the console when using Contacts. You will see
messages such as
com.apple.AddressBook.InternetAccountsBridge[2471]: dnssd_clientstub ConnectToServer: connect()-> No of tries: 2
sandboxd[127]: ([2471]) com.apple.Addres(2471) deny network-outbound /private/var/run/mDNSResponder
everytime the spinning wheel starts.
Since there are many retries before giving up the wheel spins quite long every time mDNSResponder is requested.

Since it is an (extremely annoying) Apple bug, I hope they take care and fix it in the next OSX update (now running OSX 10.11.2).

16/01/2016 12:38:39.407 com.apple.AddressBook.InternetAccountsBridge[2841]: dnssd_clientstub ConnectToServer: connect() failed path:/var/run/mDNSResponder Socket:4 Err:-1 Errno:1 Operation not permitted
Extremely annoying!

Jan 18, 2016 11:05 PMby kemlath,Same issue here spent an evening getting Carddav to speak to my Owncloud installation, only to find out after the first successful sync that the contact app goes crazy and fills the log with:
18/01/16 22:43:20,000 kernel[0]: Sandbox: com.apple.Addres(1280) deny(1) network-outbound /private/var/run/mDNSResponder
and
18/01/16 22:43:20,916 com.apple.AddressBook.InternetAccountsBridge[1280]: dnssd_clientstub ConnectToServer: connect()-> No of tries: 3

Jan 20, 2016 1:32 AMby KRIBkia,I have installed a fresh Mac with the 10.11.3 beta (and final) as well as 10.11.4 beta and still having the same issue.
If I install 10.11.1 on the Mac then all works fine. So it HAS to be an issue that was introduced with 10.11.2 as this is when it 'stopped working'
iCloud contacts work just fine with all versions, but any other CardDav server, whether it's Google, OwnCloud, OS X Server just will not behave on the Mac client.
I have sent report after report on this issue, and since found out loads of other are also having this issue, so we all need to send bug reports into Apple for them to make any kind of notice.

Feb 2, 2016 11:26 AMby Rachovenov,Hi all,
This solved my issue.
I disabled the contacts option under the Google selection in Internet accounts in preference. I then manually added Google as a CardDav account.
Problem solved! It appears there is some sort of sandboxing configuration issue with Apple's new implementation of the "idiot proof" Google contacts checkbox. Going back to the old school way of doing it seems to have fixed the issue. Sync works fine and there are no constant denials by the sandbox daemon to look use the DNS resolver daemon, and the beach ball delay to editing, adding, or removing contacts is gone.
For the rest of the details on my attempts to solve this issue, see here:

Feb 8, 2016 3:37 PMby panca,I can confirm though, what others have reported already: since 11.11.3 the beachball phenomenon stops if you do two things:
- reconfigure your access to Google Contacts to use *CardDav* rather than going through the default account configuration and clicking contacts in Google
- you have to allow "less secure" programs login to your google account. That's somewhere under My account -> sign in, security of your Google account.
Good luck
