Add button to export entire weekly schedule to personal calendar (useful documentation https://medium.com/@davidapears/add-to-calendar-in-reactnative-ios-android-2479f2830666)

Thanks for the suggestion. To be honest, however, I'm not sure this is the best way to implement this kind of integration.

All lectures can already be exported as a web calendar from here (by tapping onto a lecture slot, in the details area that appears you can get a link to the calendar that you can import in your favorite calendar app/service as a subscription) with the major advantages of being imported in bulk and supporting automatic updates.

So personally, I think it could be more meaningful to find a better way to implement calendar import through subscription, instead of having to import lectures one by one (as, if I understood correctly, it's how the article you sent implements the solution) or weekly (even if after a brief read I didn't understand how to do it, plus still, it'd not be kept in sync in case of changes).
