Meeting status update not working for some recurring events

[pakerwreah]

If you try to change the meeting status nothing happens.
Then, after closing the popup, it won't open anymore.

weird... after a few minutes it started working again.

The calendar service must have been stuck awaiting for the system and that caused the popup to not be released from memory, blocking other popups from showing up.

This deserves some investigation, but it's not critical anymore.

This is happening again 😐
It seems to only affect some events but not others.
I still can't figure out why.

When it fails I get this error:

Error committing event store: [Error Domain=EKCADErrorDomain Code=1013 "Access denied" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Access denied}]

Which is weird, because we do have permissions, the calendar is writable, everything is fine, and it works for other events.

Anyway, we should not break the event popup if this fails, I need to fail gracefully and probably give the user some feedback, even if it's an ugly alert with the exception message, which will help to report it.

Looks like it's something to do with recurring events in different time zones.

Turns out this has nothing to do with time zones. It's some weird issue with recurrent events in general.

I was able to replicate it consistently being the event organizer and creating a daily event, but it works if I change status with an invited account.
After I update the status with that account, then the event becomes detached and it starts working for the organizer again.

I had no idea that updating the meeting status for a specific day would completely detach the event from the series.
This is apparently how it works in general, even using the native calendar app or google calendar website.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on. No A.I. in the world was able to help me. 😞

I also experience this just being an attendee in some situations, so it's not something specific to organizers, it just happens to break consistently with the scenario I described. It can also be that my account (the organizer) has some weird setup.

For the record, you cannot save recurring events with alarms 🫠
You have to remove all alarms and re-add them after saving the event (after it becomes detached from the original series).
Already detached events don't seem to have this problem.
