I'm using requestFullAccessToEvents to get access to my calendar. Running iPadOS 17.0.1

With the simulator an iPadOS dialog pops up asking permission.

• If I say yes, eveything works. - correct
• If I say no, I don't get acess. - correct
• If I quit and relaunch the app it does not ask again and I don't get acess - correct, but frustrating
• If I delete the app and reinstall it asks me again - correct
• If I say no, I don't get acess. - correct
• If I go into the settings app and scroll all the way to the bottom there is a section Developer and Under that my app.
• I can turn on calendar acess there and then the app getys assess - correct

Now, I try this on a real iPad

• The iPadOS dialog pops up asking permission, but it hidden under my application - wrong
• If I quite my application I can see the dialog.
• I clicked "No"
• I launch my app and I don't get acess. - correct
• I Deelte the app and reinstall it. It does not ask me again and I don't get acess - wrong
• I go into the settings app...
• There is still a developer item, but it before all the applications - ?
• There is no item for my app so I can't change the permissions - wrong.

So there are three differences between the simulator and the real app.

• How the dialog pops up
• Deleting the app is not getting rid of everything
• App not showing up in Settings

I added one item to the Info

Privacy - Calendards Useage Description

The code is pretty simple

class CalendarManager { private let eventStore = EKEventStore() var vm: ViewModel?

func requestCalendarAccess(theVM:ViewModel) {
    vm = theVM

    eventStore.requestFullAccessToEvents { (granted, error) in
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            if let error = error {
                print("Error requesting calendar access: \(error.localizedDescription)")
                return
            }

            if granted {
                if let vm = self.vm
                {
                    vm.canAccessCalendar = true
                    print("Access granted, proceed to access the calendar")
                }
            } else {
                print("Handle the case where permission was denied")
            }
        }
    }
}

func fetchEvents(startDate: Date, endDate: Date) -> [EKEvent]? {
    let predicate = eventStore.predicateForEvents(withStart: startDate, end: endDate, calendars: nil)
    return eventStore.events(matching: predicate)
}

}

Any Ideas?

I tried changing the bundle ID and it is still retruning with granted false.

OK, so I found it?

With the simulator creating a info record for "Privacy - Calendards Useage Description" is enough, but with a real device you have to define "Privacy - Calendars Full Access Usage Description"
