Online Accounts feature does not work with gnome-online-accounts 3.49.2 #326

Issue
Once distros package gnome-online-accounts 3.49.2, the Online Accounts feature in cinnamon-control-center will stop working to add new online accounts or edit existing ones.

It doesn't appear to crash the app. Just the features don't work.

gnome-online-accounts 3.50 is part of GNOME 46 and will be included in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Fedora 40, etc.

Other information
cinnamon-control-center already provides a meson option onlineaccounts which can be set to false by default. That way it's still available for people using the latest cinnamon-control-center on older distros.

Alternatively, it may be possible to keep using GOA 3.50+ via a separate process that would have to be built. There are a few other options mentioned at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/gnome-online-accounts-no-longer-compatible-with-budgie-cinnamon-unity-control-center/42898
