Adding events to calendar in ios 5 programatically
Solution 1
The code is correct and works in iOS 5. The reason for my error was the first line
eventStore=[[EKEventStore alloc] init];
Since initializing eventstore takes some time, placing it in application launch method resulted in time out. I found it from my crash report stating:
"Elapsed application CPU time (seconds):30 seconds"
The app is supposed to launch within 10 seconds. if not time out occurs with Exception Codes: 0x8badf00d
Solution 2
You have to use 5th version of SDK. You can find a diff in saveEvent function:
[eventStore saveEvent:addEvent span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:nil];
It should help you.

eventStore=[[EKEventStore alloc] init]; EKEvent *addEvent=[EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore]; addEvent.title=@"hello"; addEvent.startDate=messageDate; addEvent.endDate=[addEvent.startDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:600]; [addEvent setCalendar:[eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents]]; addEvent.alarms=[NSArray arrayWithObject:[EKAlarm alarmWithAbsoluteDate:addEvent.startDate]]; [eventStore saveEvent:addEvent span:EKSpanThisEvent error:nil];
The code above works fine in ios 4.2 but not in ios 5. I have the code in applicationDidfinishingLaunching method. Due to error, black screen appears and app exits. Only recurrenceRules has changed in ios 5 and I have not made use of it. All other properties are available in superclass EKCalendarItem. I cannot test it since I have xcode 3.2 and snow leopard. I am looking to debug the line at which error occurs causing the app to quit. I doubt it is related to setCalendar or using alarms property.
