Open .ics file in iOS App

Question

I need to open a .ics file in my app.

I tried to open it like this:

NSURL *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"myIcsName" withExtension:@"ics"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:path];

But nothing is happening.

How do I open the .ics file?

Answer 1

I just used the following code:

- (IBAction)displayICS:(id)sender
{
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"ics"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
    UIDocumentInteractionController *dc = [UIDocumentInteractionController interactionControllerWithURL:url];
    dc.delegate = self;
    [dc presentPreviewAnimated:YES];
}
-(UIViewController *)documentInteractionControllerViewControllerForPreview:(UIDocumentInteractionController *)controller
{
    return self;
}
