Unable to request permission to access the IOS Calendar in Swift 4.2












1















I have tried the earlier examples of asking permission to add items to the IOS calendar. They do not work with Xcode 10.1 (Swift 4.2). When I try to compile the code, I get an error. If I comment out the lines beginning with "EKEventstore.requestAccess", the code executes the ".not.Determined" loop.



The error is "Instance member 'requestAccess' cannot be used on type 'EKEventStore'; did you mean to use a value of this type instead?"



Can anyone please find my error so that the IOS app can have permission to add events to the Calendar?



func SOGetPermissionCalendarAccess() {

switch EKEventStore.authorizationStatus(for: .event) {

case .authorized:
print("Authorized")

case .denied:
print("Access denied")

case .notDetermined:
EKEventStore.requestAccess(to: .event, completion:
{[weak self] (granted: Bool, error: Error?) -> Void in
if granted {
print("Access granted")
} else {
print("Access denied")
}
})

print("Not Determined")
default:
print("Case Default")
}

}

          You should create event store instance as like below,



          let eventStore = EKEventStore()


          After that you can make permission request as like below,



          switch EKEventStore.authorizationStatus(for: .event) {

          case .authorized:
          print("Authorized")

          case .denied:
          print("Access denied")

          case .notDetermined:
          eventStore.requestAccess(to: .event, completion:
          {(granted: Bool, error: Error?) -> Void in
          if granted {
          print("Access granted")
          } else {
          print("Access denied")
          }
          })

          print("Not Determined")
          default:
          print("Case Default")
          }

          • This worked. The line after "eventStore.." should be " {(granted: Bool, error: Error?) -> Void in" because self is not used.
