iPhone: how to interact programmatically with the native Calendar application

1.9k Views Asked by At

Is there any way to interact with the native Calendar application without using EventKit or EventKitUI? EventKit/EventKitUI lets you add/edit/delete etc. events in your native calendar, but I'm trying to find some way to add events to the native calendar so that when a user views an entry added thusly (viewed from the Calendar application, not from my application) by clicking on it, they see the item in a ViewController provided by my application (which has one or more extra buttons).

Is this possible, or do I have to emulate the entire native calendar inside my own application in order to get the calendar to behave the way I want it to?

Judging from the quarantine-like protection of other built in apps, I'd bet this is impossible. I'm only 99,9% percent sure, though.
