findEvent crashes on iOS (release 4.5.4)

[rolfback]

The latest release stopped my app from working with the following code: window.plugins.calendar.findEvent('', '', '', startDate, endDate, function (allEvents) {}, function (err){});

Using PhoneGap + Ionic. config.xml: <plugin name="cordova-plugin-calendar" />

[EddyVerbruggen]

The crash probably depends on what data is found by the plugin - so can you tell me what events it finds and (most importantly) what the error is?

[rolfback]

The functions doesn't alert the error due to the crash. How can I trace what the error is then?

[EddyVerbruggen]

That's because it's a crash in native code, not in the www code - so you'll need to attach your phone to you machine and (if possible) open Xcode > Window > Devices > Select your phone and inspect the log at the moment of the crash.

[rolfback]

I'm not sure if this is what you need. Doesn't tell me that much.

[EddyVerbruggen]

Thanks for the effort. Those iOS stacktraces are ever so helpful..

So is there a way to reproduce the issue? Clearly your search finds some event that chokes the plugin. Perhaps some recurrence rule or attendees list. If you can narrow it down to a specific event then we're halfway there..

[rolfback]

I had duplicate events, or more exactly, I was invited to an recurring event from a user, which calendar I can view. If I de-select the other user from Calendars in iOS, I still get the error (the other user is part of same organization and I cannot remove the calendar from my list of calendars).

From what I understand the findEvent method looks in all possible calendars, not only my "active" (which could be a nice feature in the future maybe).

[rolfback]

After I removed permissions for the other email address on the server I found out that all of my different gmail calendars have Holidays that have the same information and therefor crashes the app.

I suspect that even if the events have different id's they are causing the crash if the rest of the content are exactly the same?

[rolfback]

More info: I removed the findEvent-part and added listCalendars instead and it still crashes. I restarted the phone, deleted the app and installed it again. Two other iPhone-users doesn't have any problems at all. They also have several gmail-accounts like me. I've removed all other calendars from the server (holidays and weekno's).

The only method that doesn't close my app is openCalendar.

If I change plug-in to: <gap:plugin name="nl.x-services.plugins.calendar" /> it starts to work again. Not sure about differences between that plugin and <plugin name="cordova-plugin-calendar" />.

[rolfback]

Even more info, narrowing it down: I deleted all calendars except one and removed all appointments in that one. I cannot delete the iOS Holiday calendar though and not the Facebook and app integrations. Not the Contacts Birthdays either.

Important info I think: if my calendar is empty and I do an empty search (window.plugins.calendar.findEvent('','','',startDate, endDate, success, error);) it crashes BUT if I add 'aaa' to the search (window.plugins.calendar.findEvent('aaa','','',startDate, endDate, success, error);) it doesn't crash. Then I added an event called 'aaa' in my iOS cal and did the sync again and then it doesn't crash either.

My conclusion is that all the parameters cannot be empty strings? How to search for all events during a period?

Hi,

This reproduces by:

1) adding the calendar from two gmail accounts to "Settings->Accounts" 2) make sure you have duplicate events showing in Calendar from "Holidays in United States" in Calendar 3) do a findEvent that has enough days to capture one of the dupes:

var start = new Date(); var end = new Date(); end.setDate(end.getDate() + 30); return $cordovaCalendar.findEvent({ title: '', location: '', notes: '', startDate: start, endDate: end });

this gets Halloween.

4) This crashes on line 28 of CDVJSON_private.m in cordova.

5) if you go back to 4.5.3 its fine

6) if you comment out line 441 of Calendar.m its fine

if (event.recurrenceRules != nil) { //[entry setObject:event.recurrenceRules forKey:@"rrule"]; }

Let me know if you need anything else.

Jimmy

Thank you for digging into the problem. As you pointed out, the prev. version works fine.

For you who also gets this error, please delete the app from your phone and reinstall it again with 4.5.3 version: <plugin name="cordova-plugin-calendar" spec="4.5.3" />

[EddyVerbruggen]

Hmm that line was added through PR #337 .. let's comment it. Thanks @rolfback!

[tobiasmuecksch]

Is there anything new on this issue? I have the same problem...

[c0bra]

Still cashing. iOS simulator 10.3. My call looked like calendar.findEvent("string"). Fresh xcode install; no events have been scheduled yet.

Here's the debug log:

I managed to get it working with

this.calendar.findEvent('Event Title', '', '', moment().hours(0).minutes(0).toDate(), moment().hours(23).minutes(59).toDate()

I wanted to grab all of the events for the day. I'm using moment.js, but of course you can form using a normal date object as well.

After seeing related issue #268 I realized my notes field did have a line break in it. I changed it to an empty string and it's no longer crashing the iOS simulator.
