Can't add attendees to event.

I wanted to save event with attendees but my App is crashing when I am trying to add them. Event is saved successfully without attendees key.

This is the error I got in Android Studio.

com.facebook.react.bridge.NoSuchKeyException: url at com.facebook.react.bridge.ReadableNativeMap.getType(ReadableNativeMap.java:225) at com.calendarevents.CalendarEvents.createAttendeesForEvent(CalendarEvents.java:772) at com.calendarevents.CalendarEvents.addEvent(CalendarEvents.java:667) at com.calendarevents.CalendarEvents.access$200(CalendarEvents.java:44) at com.calendarevents.CalendarEvents$3.run(CalendarEvents.java:1225) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:919)

Steps to Reproduce

let calevent = await RNCalendarEvents.saveEvent(eventTitle, { calendarId: this.state.calId, startDate: from_date, endDate: to_date, location: eventLocation, alarms: [{ date: 60 }], attendees: [{name: “User Name”, email: “[e-mail]”}] });

Expected Behavior

I think there should be an option to add attendees while saving or updating an event. I tried both with no luck.

Actual Behavior

App crashing when I try to add attendees.

Adding attendees as attendees: [{name: "User Name", email: "[e-mail]"}] is not working because when i gone through the android native java files in library I see different keys are expected for objects in attendees array.

library version I used: 1.7.3 File: react-native-calendar-events/android/src/main/java/com/calendarevents/CalendarEvents.java

`//region Attendees private void createAttendeesForEvent(ContentResolver resolver, int eventID, ReadableArray attendees) { … some logic

    for (int i = 0; i < attendees.size(); i++) {
        ReadableMap attendee = attendees.getMap(i);
        ReadableType type = attendee.getType("url");
        ReadableType fNameType = attendee.getType("firstName");
        if (type == ReadableType.String) {
            ContentValues attendeeValues = new ContentValues();
            attendeeValues.put(CalendarContract.Attendees.EVENT_ID, eventID);
            attendeeValues.put(CalendarContract.Attendees.ATTENDEE_EMAIL, attendee.getString("url"));
            attendeeValues.put(CalendarContract.Attendees.ATTENDEE_RELATIONSHIP, CalendarContract.Attendees.RELATIONSHIP_ATTENDEE);

            if (fNameType == ReadableType.String) {
                attendeeValues.put(CalendarContract.Attendees.ATTENDEE_NAME, attendee.getString("firstName"));
            }
            resolver.insert(CalendarContract.Attendees.CONTENT_URI, attendeeValues);
        }
    }
}
//endregion`

So it is expecting url and firstName as keys instead of name and email in each attendee object passed in array.

I tested with the following object and it worked on Android:

title = 'test event';
details = {
    id: <event.id>,
    ......
    ......
    attendees:[
            {'url':'<email>', 'firstName': '<name>'},
            {'url':'<email>', 'firstName': '<name>'},
            {'url':'<email>', 'firstName': '<name>'}
   ]
}
RNCalendarEvents.saveEvent(title, details)

iOS: Doesn’t even parse attendees array in saving event method mentioned in file RNCalendarEvents.m

And they also mentioned attendees as read only in the documentation of this library.

were you able to find a solution for IOS. perhaps any other library that works well with both android and ios?
