Subscribe to Google calendar does not work

    Hi,

    after upgrading to version 6.0 of The Event Calendar and migrating the data I got multiple reports that it is no longer possible to subscribe to the calendar (I promoted this only recently, so maybe it was failing with older versions already silently). I personally had no problems before version 6.0 except that the sync of the calendar entries needed up to 1 week.

    If the Google Calendar is used it asks whether to add a calendar but immediately fails with something similar to „calendar does no longer exist“ or „calendar was removed“ showing it only for approximately 1s. I observed this myself a few times but now that I want to reproduce it (as I got a similar report from a second user) I cannot. It was working after multiple attempts so it could be a timing issue?

    Any ideas?

    Hi, if it helps track down… This is not isolated to Android. The issue is happening on iOS for me as well, and the error message is:
    Insecure connection. Would you like to subscribe anyway?

    Additionally, I see this article:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/troubleshoot/client-connectivity/insecure-connection-secure-connection-unavailable-outlook-ios-android

    I am personally using the Aggregator plugin for an Outlook calendar, perhaps this helps point you all in the right direction.

    Okay, so, I have figured out how to address this issue with both Android devices, and iOS devices who are experiencing issues subscribing to the calendar.

    For iOS, Reset Network Settings on the phone / tablet, and try again.

    For Android, instead of clicking the google calendar link, either 1) open the link in new tab / directly in a browser on Google Calendar or 2) copy link, go to your google calendar in browser, and add it manually.

    These methods worked for me.

    I too have experienced this on a Android phone (Pixel 4a 5G). the workaround was to open the link in a browser tab. However, neither Google nor Outlook correctly fetch changes or new events added to the calendar. So I’ve temporarily disabled the subscribe to calendar button.

    Update: Google took about 3 days to finally update my subscribed calendar, and not the advertised 12 or 24 hours. So I don’t believe that part is actually broken, and I’m going to re-enable the subscribe to calendar button.

    As soon as we release a fix for this issue, we will post an update here in the thread.
