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)

Hi @rfc2822,

GMX technical support contacted me, saying “please try again” 🙂 So I did. After a quick simple test (I enabled past event time limit again) all future events in this calendar are still visible. Lets see if this works for ALL calendars AND for events in 2020 and after … 😉

You may want to check this by your own.

Thanks to you and GMX. Kind regards,

I solved the issue - thanks!

Just for the protocol:
I checked the settings you mentioned already before and compared them to the provided screenshots - they were correct.

DAVDroid was not affected by Battery saving and permission to access calendar and contacts were granted. (There is one screen that looks different on my phone though and that is the “additional permissions” section. At your screenshots you enable permissions for “read tasks” and “write tasks”. Unfortunately, I don´t have this menu items in my list of “additional permissions”.)

I had to restart my phone and once manually trigger the synchronisation inside DAVDroid, then the events suddenly appear inside my calender app, even without adding the calendar account in my calendar app. I suppose that the problem was that I have set the permissions “to late” where DAVDroid had already tried to do a sync which presumably failed. Maybe thats why the restart and manual sync solved the issue.

Thanks a lot!
