Re: iCal parsing using Cocoa/Objc

Does anyone know of an ObjC based parser for iCal files. I've been chasing through some RubyCocoa examples using Ruby to parse and calling it. I've seen some perl examples. And unless an ObjC parser rears it's dead, I think wrapping libical would be the most sensible approach. Tell me if I'm wrong :)

It seems there's no API for iCal like there is for Address book.

Any views on the Private CALCore framework? I saw a mention of this on the libical discussion list but it turned out to be a stub message.

I basically gave it up.
IIRC there's no API touching iCal outside of .Mac sync framework, and then you need .Mac.
I though about parsing the iCal files myself, but who knows what apple will do with those files in the future...
If you have a lot of spare time, then go for it, but I didn't, since syncing etc. is gonna take time to work out (how to tell iCal you changed a date or something)

The best thing is to file a bug and hope apple adds an API in 10.5. IMHO.
