At the moment I am creating an iOS app with Swift.
In the app I want among others one of my shared iCloud calendars to be displayed.
It would be best if this iOS calendar is just displayed within the app.
An important feature is that if I add an event in my shared calendar it should of course also be added to the app.
An amazing but optional feature would be:
My AppleID of course can edit the calendar. If the app would recognise that I am using a device with an AppleID that is allowed to edit the calendar so that I would be able to edit the calendar.
To sum it up: it would be best if in my app the iOS calendar is just embedded.
Thank you for your help
I think this is what you looking for https://developer.apple.com/documentation/eventkit
EventKit is the way to read from the calendar.
After that, you can choose how to display the events that you get. The easiest way for me was in a UITableView.
I am trying to fetch my default calendar view of iPhone in my viewcontroller .
Does it Possible ?
Tab on button and open will worked([[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"calshow://"]];
) and some Third party will also worked !!!!!!
Your question can be understood one of three ways:
If you're looking to access the events that your iPhone's calendar contains, you can use Apple's EventKit framework.
If you're looking to open the calendar app from your app, there's a URL scheme called calshow:// which can do that. Based on my quick search, I'm unsure if Apple actually allows this.
If you're looking to display your own calendar UI in your app, there's a bunch of libraries out there.
Disclosure: I wrote MBCalendarKit.
You can find it on Cocoapods on this link or you can get it on Github at this link. This little library is unlike the others in that its configurability is up to the developer. You can check out some of the calendars that its users have developed for it here. And you can see its setup tutorial here. Video tutorials here. It also as a demo that you can download right from GitHub. Btw, If you have never heard of cocoapods, then invest 10 mins of your time to learn about it. It is the easiest way to integrate 3rd party libraries to your iOS projects.
Other top calendars I have compared it with:
CalendarView
FSCalendar
MBCalendarKit
PTDSimpleCalendar
GCCalendar
CVCalendar
GLCalendarView
I am using Event Kit to read and create events. I want to be able to add attendees to such events. But as described in documentation we cannod do that with Event Kit framework:
Event Kit provides limited access to a user’s Calendar database; it
does not include everything that would be desired for implementing a
full-featured calendar or reminder app, such as adding attendees or
accounts (Link to the source)
I see that some apps, like Google Calendar, can do that. I think that they are using CalDAV protocol, but I could not find anything about that (documentation, tutorials, other helpfull resources) and I don't know where to start.
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks

Is there any other way to sync google calendar and creating calendar from apple calendar to google and adding custom events to google calendar from iPad? please give some solutions regarding this!
