How to create and save EKCalendar on ios 6

calendar, ios, ios6, objective-c

Solution

I found a solution. The problem is that when iCloud calendars switched on, it hides the locally created ones from the calendar app. To bypass this problem the solution is to add a new calendar to iCloud source:

    for (EKSource *source in self.eventStore.sources)
    {
        if (source.sourceType == EKSourceTypeCalDAV && 
           [source.title isEqualToString:@"iCloud"]) //Couldn't find better way, if there is, then tell me too. :)
        {
            localSource = source;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (localSource == nil)
    {
        for (EKSource *source in self.eventStore.sources)
        {
            if (source.sourceType == EKSourceTypeLocal)
            {
                localSource = source;
                break;
            }
        }
    }

Problem

I'm having an issue where I create my EKCalendar and everything looks good but then when I go to list my calendars, it doesn't show up. I also go to check my calendar list in my calendar app but it is non existant. Any thoughts? Here is my button code to create my calendar: ``` - (IBAction)one:(id)sender { NSString* calendarName = @"My Cal"; EKCalendar* calendar; // Get the calendar source EKSource* localSource; for (EKSource* source in eventStore.sources) { if (source.sourceType == EKSourceTypeLocal) { localSource = source; break; } } if (!localSource) return; calendar = [EKCalendar calendarWithEventStore:eventStore]; calendar.source = localSource; calendar.title = calendarName; NSError* error; bool success= [eventStore saveCalendar:calendar commit:YES error:&error]; if (error != nil) { NSLog(error.description); // TODO: error handling here } NSLog(@"cal id = %@", calendar.calendarIdentifier); } ``` And here is my button code to list the calendar, but my new calendar is never included! ``` - (IBAction)two:(id)sender { NSArray *calendars = [eventStore calendarsForEntityType:EKEntityTypeEvent]; for (EKCalendar* cal in calendars){ NSLog(@"%@",cal.title); } } ``` Thank you in advance!
