Calendar app on the Mac does not accept this ics.

[csmeets]

When i try to import a downloaded .ics file with this content, no calendar item is imported in the calendar

BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:platform VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN BEGIN:VEVENT UID:94b10624-55ac-4974-b87d-48408e89a841 DTSTAMP:20220302T084901Z SUMMARY:testx DESCRIPTION:Join: https://test.nl DTSTART;UTC=:20220303T083800 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20220303T093800 ORGANIZER:mailto:test%40test.io SEQUENCE:0 DURATION:P0DT1H0M0S END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

Are there any suggestions?

Can you show us the minimal working PHP code that is needed to create this ICS output? Which version of this library do you use?

[csmeets]

HI Thank you very much for your quick response..

We use version 2.5.0

This is the code we use to generate the .ics

/** @param array<Shortcode> $shortcodes */
public function generatePersonal(
    Meeting $meeting,
    User $recipient,
    string $type,
    array $shortcodes
): string {
    $attendee = new Attendee(new EmailAddress($recipient->getEmailaddress()));

    $vEvent = $this->createEvent($meeting);
    $vEvent
        ->addAttendee($attendee)
        ->setDescription($this->getEmailBody($recipient, $shortcodes, $type))
    ;

    if ($meeting->isCancelled()) {
        $vEvent->setMethod('CANCEL');
        $vEvent->setStatus('CANCELLED');
    }

    $vCalendar = new Calendar([$vEvent]);
    $vCalendar->setProductIdentifier('test-platform');

    $vCalendarComponent = (new CalendarFactory(new MeetingEventFactory()))->createCalendar($vCalendar);

    return (string) $vCalendarComponent;
}

private function createEvent(Meeting $meeting): MeetingEvent
{
    $vEvent = new MeetingEvent(new UniqueIdentifier($meeting->getMeetingId()->toString()));

    $vEvent
        ->setSequence($meeting->getVersion())
        ->setDuration($meeting->getEstimatedDuration())
        ->setSummary($meeting->getTitle())
        ->setOccurrence(new TimeSpan(
            new DateTime($meeting->getScheduledAt(), true),
            new DateTime($meeting->getEstimatedEndTime(), true)
        ))
        ->touch(new Timestamp(new DateTimeImmutable()))
        ->setOrganizer($this->getOrganizer())
    ;

    return $vEvent;
}

If you need more info please let me know.

Thanks very much in advance

I'm having the same issue - generating a very simple ICS file does not work in mobile safari on my iPhone 8. Instead it prompts me to "download cal.ics.html". I'm using a very standard event with little information, see following ical file:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//eluceo/ical//2.0/EN
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:e48b646f1d49a5102a8e72d8ad711b63
DTSTAMP:20220313T225532Z
SUMMARY:My Event Title
DESCRIPTION:https://www.mydomain.com/some/link
DTSTART:20221021T180000
DTEND:20221021T210000
ORGANIZER;CN=My Organizer Name:mailto:info%40mydomain.com
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

When generating, I'm writing these headers:

header('Content-Type: text/calendar; charset=utf-8');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="cal.ics"');

Update: I tested this on various platforms including Mac, and it works fine on Mac OSX, but simply not at all mobile on iOS 15.3.1.

This may be caused by #434, which has a fix in #444.

Thanks for raising this issue.

This bug will be fixed in https://github.com/markuspoerschke/iCal/pull/479.
