I am trying to save an event to the calendar from my application. My code works for iOS 7, but in iOS 6 it returns Calendar is not installed.
The application offers the user to provide access to the calendar on iOS 7. But such an invitation does not appear for iOS 6. Although the application is granted access in Settings → Privacy → Calendar.
And yes, I have already implemented requestAccessToEntityType:completion:.
Here is my code snippet .
EKEventStore *objStore = [[EKEventStore alloc]init];
if ([objStore respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAccessToEntityType:completion:)])
{
[objStore requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeEvent completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error)
{
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if (granted)
{
EKEvent *calEvent = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:objStore];
calEvent.title = mstrTitleEvent;
calEvent.startDate = self.dateToBeSet;
calEvent.endDate = self.dateToBeSet;
calEvent.calendar = objStore.defaultCalendarForNewEvents;
EKAlarm *objAlarm = [EKAlarm alarmWithAbsoluteDate:self.dateToBeSet];
[calEvent addAlarm:objAlarm];
NSError *error;
BOOL _bStatus = [objStore saveEvent:calEvent span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&error];
UIAlertView *alertV;
if(_bStatus)
{
alertV = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Congratulations" message:@"Saved To Calendar" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Right On!" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alertV show];
}
else
{
alertV = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Alert" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Error saving to calendar, with error %@.",[error localizedDescription]] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alertV show];
}
}
else
{
UIAlertView *alertV = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Alert" message:@"Please grant access to the calendar, and try again later." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alertV show];
}
});
}];
}
