Overview

Singleton object that links the CalendarStore to the EventKit framework.

The CalendarStore uses EventKit to show if calendars are installed by the user and to send notifications about when an EKCalendar has been added due to an installation by the user.

Installation Notifications

If the CalendarStore framework detects that an EKCalendar has been installed because of an installation from the framework, it will broadcast a kCalStoreEKCalendarSubscriptionInstalledNotification notification. The notification’s userInfo[kCalStoreEKCalendarSubscriptionInstalledCalendarIdentifierKey] contains the calendarIdentifier of the EKCalendar that got installed. userInfo[kCalStoreEKCalendarSubscriptionInstalledItemKey] holds a reference to the CalStorePageItemCalendar that got installed, if available.

Calendar apps can observe this notification to ensure that the newly installed calendar will not be hidden, due to the user’s calendar visibility settings.

Disabling EventKit Integration

However, using EventKit is optional. To opt-out of using EventKit, call: [[CalStoreEventKitController sharedController]](#//api/name/sharedController).useEventKit = NO;

Changing EventStore

If you already have an EKEventStore object in use in your app, you can let the CalendarStore framework use that EventStore by assigning it to the eventStore property. If non is supplied, an EKEventStore object will be created on demand.
