I am trying to create calendar events in outlook from .ics received in mail. This is the content of the ics file.

Everything is synced properly except the description part. However if i add the ics file directly in the calendar by importing, the description is reflected.
Can anyone please help me here?

I have an ics file that I send the to two participants. I want both to be able to approve, reject or suggest a new location or provide a link to the online meeting, but it seems like only the user who makes the calendar update can see it, but not the other one.
Below is the .ics file.

I am editing .ics files and I would like to automatically get an embedded map on the imported events. As the name I associate to the LOCATION field is not often matching the generic locations (the ones listed by Apple Calendar when creating an event manually), I made some research and found out that it was possible using the GEO field. Unfortunately, nothing happens when I enter valid data there...
Here is my test .ics file

Attempting to import by URL the following ics data by calling an endpoint on an API I'm working on. Google does import the events at the required time and date, but their title is busy and status Private even though the events contain CLASS:PUBLIC. Using icalendar ruby gem to build the ical data.
Also, the API responds with Content-Type: text/calendar header. Trying to import the data below through a file format works fine. The problem is in the URL import. Did not try Outlook/iCalendar. No solutions from other stackoverflow threads worked so far.
Any thoughts as to what might be the problem?

This is a problem with the icalendar ruby gem.
I've created a sample ICS file like this:

Events
Event 1
CLASS:PUBLIC
TRANSP:OPAQUE
Meaning that it's a public event and I will be considered "Busy" during it.
Event 2
CLASS:PRIVATE
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
Meaning that it's a private event and I will be considered "Free" during it.
Solution
I'd recommend you head to the library's Issue Tracker and file a bug report there.
I have sent ics file as attachment in email. it is showing rsvp buttons and showing like in below attachment for gmail and adding event directly to calendar.
But same ics file i have sent to yahoo and outlook.live. ics file showing just as attachment but not showing calendar like gmail. in yahoo mail calender section continuously loading like below screen.
Here is my ics file

Please let me know what tags needs to send to show calender with rsvp buttons in yahoo/outlook.
The issue is probably with the MIME (email) structure that you are using, not with the ics itself. See Multipart email with text and calendar: Outlook doesn't recognize ics
When I create an iCalendar on Outlook, I want to delete it on Outlook with importing the ics-cancel-file,but it gives me the message "The events could't be imported. Please try again later.Error message".
The event ics file:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 15.0 MIMEDIR//EN

END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
The ics-cancel-file:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR

END:VCALENDAR
What can I fix it that I can delete the event? What's wrong with this ics file?
Adding the 2nd file just change the Event's STATUS, which defines the overall status or confirmation for the calendar component (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545#section-3.8.1.11)
The only way there is for deleting a calendar object if by a DELETE Request (http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc2518.html#METHOD_DELETE). So there isn't something wrong with the .ics file.
