Objective-c Check if calendar exists


I searched a lot and even if this question seems simple seems there is no clear answers. How do I retrieve a calendar programmatically? I need to save one and avoid to create it if it already has been saved.

I did something like:

myEventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
EKEvent *myEvent = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:myEventStore];
[myEvent setCalendar:[myEventStore calendarWithIdentifier:@"Infinity"]];

And checked if "myEvent" was nil, but it didn't help.


Solution

  • You can list the calendars by [EKEventStore calendars], in iOS 6 deprecated in favor of [EKEventStore calendarsForEntityType:].
