[iCloud] calendar-color dropped for task lists created with MKCOL/MKCALENDAR

rfc2822 developer last edited by
For reference and transparency: We have created this report on Apple Bug Reporter on 23 Feb 2016 here: https://bugreport.apple.com/web/?problemID=24791895

Summary:
When creating a task list with MKCOL/MKCALENDAR, the calendar-color is ignored.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a task list (supported-calendar-component-set only VTODO) with MKCALENDAR or Extended MKCOL. Send along a calendar-color.
2. The calendar-color is ignored.
Expected Results:
The task list should have the color from the MKCALENDAR request.

Actual Results:
The color from the MKCALENDAR request is ignored and the task list is assigned a random color.

Version:
Current iCloud (23 Feb 2016)

Notes:
This DOES work for calendars with supported-calendar-component-set set to VEVENT only. It doesn’t work for task lists only.

Configuration:
direct MKCALENDAR/MKCOL requests (curl/command line)

@jelmer Theoretically, yes. But this would make the sync interactive and completely turn around how DAVdroid is intended to work (in the background, without user interaction). I guess the best option is to repair the event manually. Also, servers shouldn’t send invalid events, so maybe they could be repaired there. Or better yet, fix the client which has created the event so that it doesn’t create invalid events.

Sounds like a problem of the branded Contacts app. Unfortunately, many Contacts apps assume that there can be only local and Google contacts If you really need this, you could try another Contacts app or a custom ROM like Linage.

This horde problem was already seen in beta tests, see Address books duplicated by -system- group (I have moved the topic to the public forum).

Hi, looks like upgrading to latest version of egroupware 14 fixed the issue.

Thanks for the logs. I was finally able to reproduce a similar situation: Upload an event with UID:a%40b (note the %, for instance coming from some erroneously double-encoded old UID; nevertheless valid) to Google /events/a%40b.ics (or anything else) Google usually rewrites the path (= moves the event) to <UID>.ics, which would be a%40b.ics. However, Google CalDAV REPORT calendar-query reports /events/a%2540b.ics as the URL of the resource. If you want to download /events/a%2540b.ics from Google, it returns 404, although it had just listed this path. So, in my opinion and what I currently know about it, this seems to be a server problem. It should go away if you delete all events on the server and then only create/sync “clean” events with “good UIDs”. Maybe you can also create a new calendar for testing and see whether this one works?
