In ios download not working

[gigallo]

Hi

I followed the guide and developed this portion of code in my app: `const calEvent = { title: appointment.medicalService.description, location: appointment.medicalService.supplierUnit, description: appointment.patientPreparation, start: appointment.date, end: addHours(appointment.date, 1) };

const icalendar = new ICalendar(calEvent); icalendar.download();`

But the download method does anything in ios. Any idea?

Thanks

Did you ever find a way around this?

I think i am facing the same problem as you. In Xcode, the error thrown is NSOSStatusErrorDomain: 2022-09-13 10:58:32.673584+0200 App[24866:8027849] [default] Failed to open URL begin:VCALENDARVERSION:2.0 [... ICS CONTENT ...]: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10814 "(null)" UserInfo={_LSLine=225, _LSFunction=-[_LSDOpenClient openURL:options:completionHandler:]}

Is that the same for you ? Any idea how to solve this ?

Thanks

At the end we decided to change the library and to use another one

@gigallo Can you tell me which one ? Thank you for the feedback.

Of course. Here you are:

"cordova-plugin-calendar": "5.1.6", "@ionic-native/calendar": "^5.36.0"

@gigallo Thank you.

@gigallo I noticed that you're using Cordova, which uses the Safari webview. File downloading has been notoriously buggy for iOS which is why I put in a hack specifically for that platform.

However it seems that FileSaver.js already accounts for iOS -- I've removed that functionality in the latest version, and hopefully that should fix the issue.

A couple of things to note:

• For iOS specifically, the download will only work if a direct user action (e.g., onclick) directly triggers it. That means that any delay in between (even an instantaneous setTimeout()) will cause it to fail. As per FileSaver.js docs:

saveAs() must be run within a user interaction event such as onTouchDown or onClick; setTimeout will prevent saveAs from triggering.

• In the next major release of Datebook, download() will be removed. More info here.
