Add participant to an event in iOS

ekevent, ekeventkit, eventkit, ios, iphone

Solution

The iOS reference says the following:

You do not create EKParticipant objects directly. Send attendees to an EKEvent object to get an array of EKParticipant objects.

Unfortunately that `attendees` property is read-only and the ways that these `EKParticipant`'s come into existence is omitted from the reference. It has lead me to believe that the only way to create new participants, is by using the `EKEventEditViewController` (from the `EventKitUI` framework).

Very unsatisfying, I know, so please let there be someone else with a better answer!
