Programatically add a reminder to the Reminders app

问题

I'm creating a simple note application and I want to implement Reminders. The user would type a note, tap a button and it would set up a reminder in the Reminders app using the text. Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it? I have seen Apple's documentation on EventKit and EKReminders but it has been no help at all.

From the "Calendars and Reminders Programming Guide"? Specifically "Reading and Writing Reminders"

You can create reminders using the reminderWithEventStore: class method. The title and calendar properties are required. The calendar for a reminder is the list with which it is grouped.

Before you create a reminder, ask for permission:

In the .h:

@interface RemindMeViewController : UIViewController
{
    EKEventStore *store;
}

and the .m, when you are going to need access to Reminders:

store = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
[store requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeReminder
                      completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
                          // Handle not being granted permission
                      }];

To actually add the reminder. This happens asynchronously, so if you try to add a reminder immediately after this, it will fail (crashes the app in my experience).

- (IBAction)addReminder:(id)sender
{
    EKReminder *reminder = [EKReminder reminderWithEventStore:store];
    [reminder setTitle:@"Buy Bread"];
    EKCalendar *defaultReminderList = [store defaultCalendarForNewReminders];

    [reminder setCalendar:defaultReminderList];

    NSError *error = nil;
    BOOL success = [store saveReminder:reminder
                                     commit:YES
                                      error:&error];
    if (!success) {
        NSLog(@"Error saving reminder: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
    }
}
