For reference and transparency: We have created this report on Apple Bug Reporter on 6 May 2017 here: https://bugreport.apple.com/web/?problemID=32036351
Summary:
Valid all-day events without DTEND are rejected by iCloud CalDAV.
Steps to Reproduce:
PUT this event to a calendar:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:+//IDN bitfire.at//DAVdroid/1.5.1 ical4android ical4j/2.x
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20170506T214225Z
UID:2105fb80-c551-4c05-831a-8402949a15f7
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170504
SUMMARY:Test
DESCRIPTION:Test
STATUS:CONFIRMED
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
Expected Results:
The resource should be accepted. DTEND is an optional property (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.6.1).
Actual Results:
The VEVENT is rejected with <error xmlns='DAV:'><valid-calendar-object-resource xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav'/></error>.
If the same event is uploaded with an additional DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170505, no error is reported.
