The Apple URL Scheme Reference gives a nice overview of a number of URL schemes you can use to open certain built-in apps with some parameters. I know that this is not a complete list of all possible URL schemes that the built-in apps respond to, since there are also ways to open the system settings at various pages. The website http://handleopenurl.com is a nice attempt at gathering all possible URL schemes and it has quite a few built-in apps on there. One app I would like to open with a URL scheme is the Calendar app (formerly known as iCal). But is there a scheme? If you know there is,

How can I add a Calendar (not an event) to a EKEventStore in iOS 5? I caught an exception unless I also did: // Get the calendar source EKSource* localSource; for (EKSource* source in eventStore.sources) { if (source.sourceType == EKSourceTypeLocal) { localSource = source; break; } } if (!localSource) return; calendar = [EKCalendar calendarWithEventStore:eventStore]; calendar.source = localSource; Naturally, take a look at the other EKSourceType enums to see which one is appropriate for your needs. EKEventStore *calendarStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init]; EKCalendar *calendar = [EKCalendar

When I try to get the identifier of an EKEvent, all I get is a nil value. Since in iOS5 EKEvent is a subclass of EKCalendarItem, I figured I might be able to get the EKCalendarItem's UUID, but that returns nil as well. Every now and then I also get this error while trying to access the identifier or UUID property: CADObjectGetInlineStringProperty failed fetching uniqueID for EKPersistentEvent with error Error Domain=NSMachErrorDomain Code=268435459 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (Mach error 268435459 - (ipc/send) invalid destination port)" I've been stuck on this problem for quite some

I'm attempting to determine which of an EKEvent's attendees ( EKPartipants ) is the current user. In iOS6, EKParticipant exposes a property called isCurrentUser http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/EventKit/Reference/EKParticipantClassRef/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/EKParticipant which is supposed to provide precisely this information. Unfortunately, each time I lookup an EKParticipant's isCurrentUser property, it returns NO, even when that's clearly not the case. Any help would be much appreciated! Updated findings: If you look up the event organizer, it

The documentation for the EKCalendar class states this for the calendarIdentifier property: A full sync with the calendar will lose this identifier. You should have a plan for dealing with a calendar whose identifier is no longer fetch-able by caching its other properties. When exactly does a "full sync" occur and what properties are liable to change besides the calendarIdentifier ? When exactly does a "full sync" occur? Calendar and Reminders Programming Guide explains this questions in this way: If a change to the Calendar database occurs from outside of your app, Event Kit is able to detect

I'm deleting event using the following code [store requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeEvent completion: ^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) { if (granted) { EKEvent *event = [store eventWithIdentifier:eventIdentifier]; NSError *eventDeleteError = nil; if (event) { [store removeEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&eventDeleteError]; } if (eventDeleteError) { NSLog(@"Event Deletion Error: %@", eventDeleteError); } }]; I got no error in eventDeleteError but following message appear in the console log CADObjectGetInlineStringProperty failed fetching UUID for EKPersistentAttendee with error Error
