iOS - Programmatically update EKEvent

The eventIdentifier getting on save is not able to fetch the event  using eventIdentifier.

So we are unable to update the EKEvent programmatically even if we have its eventIdentifier


In SimpleEKDemo provided by Apple


log the eventIdentifier on EKEventEditViewDelegate method


- (void)eventEditViewController:(EKEventEditViewController *)controller 
didCompleteWithAction:(EKEventEditViewAction)action {




        NSError *error = nil;

EKEvent *thisEvent = controller.event;
switch (action) {
case EKEventEditViewActionCanceled:
// Edit action canceled, do nothing. 
break;
case EKEventEditViewActionSaved:
// When user hit "Done" button, save the newly created event to the event store, 
// and reload table view.
// If the new event is being added to the default calendar, then update its 
// eventsList.
if (self.defaultCalendar ==  thisEvent.calendar) {
                                 
[self.eventsList addObject:thisEvent];
}
                        NSLog(@"thisEvent.id = %@", thisEvent.eventIdentifier);
[controller.eventStore saveEvent:controller.event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&error];
[self.tableView reloadData];
break;
case EKEventEditViewActionDeleted:
// When deleting an event, remove the event from the event store, 
// and reload table view.
// If deleting an event from the currenly default calendar, then update its 
// eventsList.
if (self.defaultCalendar ==  thisEvent.calendar) {
[self.eventsList removeObject:thisEvent];
}
[controller.eventStore removeEvent:thisEvent span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&error];
[self.tableView reloadData];
break;
default:
break;
}
// Dismiss the modal view controller
[controller dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}


Run the application on device, we will get the eventIDentifier like :

eventidonsave = 3CB60848-6CCA-43BF-B2C6-9EB9F5CFBBB7:C6CDE9DAA864420BA9A2E02CD886369700000000000000000000000000000000


1. log the event ids in the place of fetching events,

- (NSArray *)fetchEventsForToday {
    ....
    ....


    for(EKEvent *eachEvent in events){
        
        NSLog(@"eachEvent.id = %@", eachEvent.eventIdentifier);
    }


2.  or get the event using event identifier

just added this code on viewDidLoad()


EKEventStore *eventStore1 = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
    
    EKEvent *event1  = [eventStore1 eventWithIdentifier: eventidonsave ];
    if(event1){
        NSLog(@"event1 id = %@", event1.eventIdentifier);
    }else{
        NSLog(@"Not Found");
    }

-----

In the case 1, we can see we are getting a different eventIdentifier like 3CB60848-6CCA-43BF-B2C6-9EB9F5CFBBB7:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E00800000000646C6F747573C3010000000000000000100000000DA068F782418C4880257958003F776C  


this is not the same as 'eventidonsave'




So in the case 2, we will get "Not Found".

We are looking for a solution !

How to Remove application from iTunes Connect

From apple documentation:

Since Rights and Pricing settings are app level settings, when you choose to remove all App Store territory 
settings for an app, you will be removing the entire app from the App Store and not just a specific version.
To remove your app from sale on the App Store:
1. Click on the  button from your App Summary Page.
2. Click on the link to view specific stores.
3. Click on  to uncheck all App Store territories.
4. Click on the  button.
After removing all assigned territory checkboxes from your app in the Rights and Pricing section,, the status 
changes to Developer Removed from Sale and your app will not be seen on the App Store within 24 hours.
 
See the Apple Documentation iTunes Connect Developer Guide 7.0  Page 90

Understanding and Analyzing iOS Application Crash Reports

Read the App Store Review Guidelines from Apple site.

Read Technical Note TN2151 Understanding and Analyzing  Crash Logs

How to symbolicate the crash reports to see the lines in our source code ?

got an answer from stackoverflow


1. Our application need to build with Build Settings ->  under Build Options, the value of 'Debug Information Format' key should be "Dwarf with dSYM File"

2. We should keep the source and binary files which we used to submit the application to store

3. Select XCode, window -> organizer. select Archieve. Select the build which we used to submit and 'show in Finder'

4. select the xxx.xarchieve and 'Show contents'. You will get the .dSYM file and the .app file from the contents.

5. put the .app, .dSYM and crash logs files in a folder

6. open Terminal appplication and go to this folder // using  cd command

7. execute the command
atos -arch armv7 -o appname.app/appname memory_location_in_the_crashlogs
