CardDAV is an open standard while Google's Contacts API is proprietary. I can't speak for Outlook, but since the issue is with Google's CardDAV API, it won't matter which other app you switch to. The problem will still be there if that app uses CardDAV. Google CardDAV URL CardDAV interface is now available in Google, which enables you to manage, access, and view your contacts with CardDAV protocol. Your contacts can now be stored with your account in Google. Use the Google CardDAV URL for much of this. I got a new iPhone XS and this pop-up keeps asking me for a CardDav password for Google everytime I access my contacts. I do not have CardDav in my settings to turn this annoying thing off. I put my defaut contacts account on iPhone to turn Google off and it didn't work. I turned off settings on an app that uses CardDav and still didn't work.

Recently Google announced that it would no longer support Microsoft’s ActiveSync for syncing Google services — Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts — with new mobile devices. Current users would not be affected but newer user would not have the option.

This will have an impact on iPhone and iPad users who are used ActiveSync services for push notification. However, Google does support standard open protocols — IMAP for email, CalDAV for calendar, and CardDAV for contacts — for connected to it’s services. iOS users aren’t left completely without connectivity options. iOS supports these options natively and they are easy to configure.

Launch the Settings app and navigate to Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Under the Accounts section tap Add Account.

From the list tap, Other.
