iCal parsing using Cocoa/Objc



Agreed with the recurrence. It's a b**** to implement fully.

I did use libical (look for it in sourceforge) for a Carbon project, but it ought to work equally well from a Cocoa one. It needs a little adjustment to have it work inside an application package but nothing too grand. After that, didn't find any particular issue with it and the API is straightforward enough.

it is easy with the exception of the recurrence rules.  Those can be
tricky to implement correctly.

Oh, yeah... I did this once on big calendars that had maybe started under
10.2 and mostly been populated under 10.3, and either iCal or iSynch had
made a surprising mess of the recurring items.


The RFC will help you read the files, but don't expect to do this without
some surprises. FWIW, I parsed them using Python...
