Current behavior:
After upgrading system to ios17 calendar plugin stopped working. It doesn't ask about permissions and it doesn't write any data to user's calendar.

Expected behavior:
In ios16 (and earlier) calendar plugin asks about write permissions & allows app to create new calendar instances / add them to user's system's calendar

Other information:
requestReadWritePermission returns empty error

I'm also facing this. Seems like it's because of the changes in iOS 17 highlighted here.

I've tried adding NSCalendarsFullAccessUsageDescription to my Info.plist but that wasn't enough, as it seems the actual native functions to call have changed.

+1, doesn't find any calendars also.

There is this open PR on the plugin's repo that claims to fix the issue: EddyVerbruggen/Calendar-PhoneGap-Plugin#566

Might be worth moving the discussion to the issue in that repo as well: EddyVerbruggen/Calendar-PhoneGap-Plugin#565

Yes I tested it initially and it works on iOS17. But not on the older versions 😞 I proposed a simple fix to keep the backward compatibility.

Once we have it merged and released in PhoneGap-Plugin, we will need to bump the version here and release it also.

In a meantime, for testing purposes, you can open the Pods/Development Pods/CordovaPlugins/CordovaPluginCalendar/Calendar.m in Xcode and just replace a content of initEventStoreWithCalendarCapabilities method with the one from this PR.
