    Hello,

    i have created a date event with Utils.addToCalendar. Is it possible to get the .ics file of the created event to be stored in TF (that file one could double-click to view/check the event in macos calendar)? Or how do I get only the link to the new calendar entry? Could it be build with the ‘identifier’?

    Thanks.

    Ok, another “problem” comes up, if an calendar event was created on TF for iOS it isn’t possible to update the event with TF for Macos (or vice versa), because the “identifier” isn’t unique…

    Could that be solved? Maybe as a workaround with the .ics file, because with the .ics the event opens on Macos and iOS…

    Thanks.

    I wonder where TF is getting the event identifier from with var identifier = Utils.addToCalendar (event_info, start_date, end_date);

    So far as is can see the identical IDs from the event are not used. For example from: ~ / Library / Calendars / 4CCDBB40-4F60-4F84-A247-39351C54F2DF.caldav / 2D16A2F7-B93D-44DE-A72F-57900E239B2C.calendar / Events / 60D210EF-83A1-40 -980D-FF5AD1B0CF73.ics

    It would also be useful, if one can delete an event with Utils.update... … So far, you can simply move the event to a “trash calendar” …
