Creating a Calendar entry on iPhone

Post by theagilepad » Wed May 11, 2011 5:59 pm

I am building an iPhone app where I would like to alert the user at a specified time each day to carry out an action.

The app will generate the actions but I need to be able to create the actions in the iPhone calendar. This will also enable me to create an alert using the calendar.

Within the iOS SDK there is an EventKit framework to provide access to the iPhone Calendar. Can I access this framework from within runrev or is there an alternative way of creating a calendar entry?

An alternative may be access to the iphone alarm but then I would need to keep the app open all the time. any ideas?

Can I now access the EventKit framework using the iOS external sdk?
