EKCADErrorDomain using calendarWithIdentifier

Question

In my iOS app i used to access calendar with the following method:

EKCalendar* cal = [eventStore calendarWithIdentifier:[calendarIDs objectAtIndex:i]];


        

Answer 1

I'm stumped on the same silly thing too.

I just looped over an array of calendars and match according to the identifier. It's not elegant, but it works and the average user probably have less than 10 calendars so...oh well..

here's my workaround in swift

func createEvent(){
    var event = EKEvent(eventStore: self.eventStore)
    var calendar : EKCalendar!
    let calendars : [EKCalendar] = self.eventStore.calendarsForEntityType(EKEntityTypeEvent) as [EKCalendar]

    for aCal in calendars
    {
        if(aCal.calendarIdentifier == self.calendarIdentifier)
        {
            calendar = aCal
            break
        }
    } ...continue to do stuff to events....

}

Answer 2

Swift 4.2

Instead of

let matchedCal = eventStore
    .calendar(withIdentifier: calendarIdentifier)

You can use:

let matchedCal = eventStore
    .calendars(for: .event)
    .first(where: { $0.calendarIdentifier == calendarIdentifier })
