I would like to echo the point that TBSync does not sync Apple iCloud reminders at the moment, having this enhancement would ensure there is no need to keep switching between Thunderbird and Apple Reminders, I assume that if we enhance TBSync then reminders could also be made to show up in calendar ?
Apple decided to move the reminders off of CalDAV onto a proprietary system. I do not have the resources to integrate their eventKit API.
Please also note that CalDAV/CardDAV support will be sunset in TbSync. Thunderbird now has native support for CalDAV/CardDAV.
@jobisoft I understand that this enhancement is one which you don't wish to take on. That is fair. So it is up to me to get the work done, if I really want it. Maybe in the future I might be back with a code submission.
In any event, thank you for your work on TbSync.
I request an enhancement: that TbSync be able to synchronise with macOS Reminder data which exists local to a macOS system, probably managed by EventKit, without requiring use of iCloud and without accessing iCloud CalDAV servers.
Your environment
TbSync version: 4.8 Thunderbird version: 115.5.1
Expected behavior
TbSync syncs with macOS Reminders (tasks) without using calDAV or iCloud
Actual behavior
TbSync does not discover local EventKit data. Neither does DAV-4-TbSync. DAV-4-TbSync prompts me to enter iCloud credentials, presumably so that it can sync with an iCloud CalDAV server — but I do not use iCloud.
Steps to reproduce
Install TbSync and DAV-4-TbSync per [https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/wiki/How-to-get-started TbSync's How to get started guide]. Look for mention of macOS local tasks in the TbSync UI. There is none. Note that entering iCloud credentials does not seem to lead to syncing with local EventKit data.
To help resolving your issue, enable debug logging (TbSync Account Manager -> Help) and send me the debug.log via e-mail (use the title of your issue as subject of the email): Not applicable to this enhancement request.
Discussion
Thunderbird support topic Can Thunderbird sync macOS Reminders with its Events? asks how to do this. To date, there is no answer which succeeds.
