Permission issues . "no event found until midnight" despite "Full Access" to Calendar #6

Not a bug report, more an observation and comment if other people also run into this issue.

TL;DR

The terminal requires "Full Access" to Calendar AND access to "Reminders"

Thank you for building the software. It scratches a very particular itch.

An issue I encountered is that enabling "Full Access" to the Calendar was not enough.

The app always reported that there were no events

./mcal next
no event found until midnight

iCalBuddy also reported that there were no events today:

icalBuddy -f -sd eventsToday
error: No calendars.

This is despite granting Full Access to the Terminal (Alacritty in my case).

Only after ALSO granting access to "Reminders"

Both apps, mcal and iCalBuddy were able to find events.

It's funny that

Actually, does the right check (to my eyes), but macOS still only allows to get calendar entries if you also grant access to Reminders.

macOS 14.5 (23F79)
