Provider support #

Attachment support has varying degrees of maturity across providers and calendar apps. The following list documents issues we’ve encountered which we are unable to control.

Apple Calendars

Apple calendars accept one attachment per event.

Apple calendar apps have varying degrees of support:

  • iCloud Web app does not show any attachments
  • MacOS Calendar app shows the attachment added when creating the event, but does not track attachments being removed
  • iOS app works as expected - tracks attachment updates and removal
