Is it possible to interact with iOS 5's Reminders app from my app?

Question

Is there a way to add, read, or delete reminder items from the new iOS 5 built-in Reminders app?

Answer 1

I'd really like access to the reminders too, I found a post explaninf adding events to the calendar here ..

Programmatically add custom event in the iPhone Calendar

While the Calendar is "ok" for reminders, it makes more sence to use the IOS 5 "Reminders" app, after all SIRI can use it! :p

EDIT: I solved my problem by using Local Notifications....

UILocalNotification *localNotif = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (localNotif == nil)
    return nil;
localNotif.fireDate = itemDate;
localNotif.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];

// Notification details
localNotif.alertBody = @"Here is your alert!";

// Set the action button title
localNotif.alertAction = @"View";

//localNotif.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
localNotif.soundName = @"Bell.aiff";
localNotif.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 1;

// Specify custom data for the notification
NSDictionary *infoDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:myCustomMessage.text forKey:@"message"];
localNotif.userInfo = infoDict;

// Schedule the notification
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:localNotif];

This allows me to set notifications which appear like Push Notifications and they are preserved even when the app is restarted.

You can clear them if needed with ..

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications];
