.ics and ical events are not a "forest trip" (as we say in french).
Below a working event -> a created event.

It works in Mail.app (os x) and GMail.
For example, I see this and this is perfect.
I'm also able to add this event to my calendar
However, I'm unable to cancel this event! Argh!
Below my cancelled event:

Note that METHOD, SEQUENCE and STATUS have changed!
If I see this in Gmail (image below), the event DOESN'T disappear from my calendar... :-/
Do you have any idea why it's not working?
It's also not working in mail.app (OS X).
Thanks a lot!

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.

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.
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
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:PUBLISH
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20160504T072433Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE;VALUE=DATE:20160506
SUMMARY:BirthDay
UID:20160504T072432Z-1#fe80:0:0:0:a2d3:c1ff:fe34:bacf%2
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
The ics-cancel-file:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 15.0 MIMEDIR//EN
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:CANCEL
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20160504T072433Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE;VALUE=DATE:20160506
SUMMARY:BirthDay
UID:20160504T072432Z-1#fe80:0:0:0:a2d3:c1ff:fe34:bacf%2
STATUS:CANCELLED
END:VEVENT
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.
My Request is :

Depth:1
The web response does not return any exception. In web response I get http status code as "OK" but the event is not created on my icloud calendar.
I refered to enter link description here . Search for Example: Calendar Resource Bulk Create
Your POST request is on the calendar home which is the parent collection of actual calendars. I think you want to do the POST on one of your actual calendar.

You have events with ATTENDEE property but no ORGANIZER property.
