How to reset EKAuthorizationStatusRestricted in iOS Calendar?

In my app, I am trying to add entries in the user's Calendar. To reflect the authorization status in my UI, I use authorizationStatusForEntityType to determine whether the user has already given or denied permission. The first time, i.e. before the app has asked permission, the status is EKAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined. After is has displayed the question, I cannot find a way to put the status back to EKAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined in order for me to continue testing my app. Even removing and re-installing my app it does not help. I can go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Location & Privacy, but that erases all my privacy settings, not just the one for my app.

So the question is: is there any way to reset the authorization for my app?

Thank you.

Solution

  • There is no way to reset the authorization status except the way you already described (i.e. Settings -> reset all).
