I'm adding a new functionality in my app, which is the ability to add an
event in the default calendar set up on the phone. In the implementation, I
get the permission and am ready to add the event. I check to see if there
is an actual default calendar through the use of optional binding, but I
get the error:
Initializer for conditional binding must have Optional type, not
'EKCalendar'
Now, defaultCalendarForNewEvents is an Optional (see declaration below) and
it should be perfectly fine to use optional binding to check if it's nil or
not. What am I missing?
defaultCalendarForNewEvents definition in EKEventStore.h:
open var defaultCalendarForNewEvents: EKCalendar? { get }
I'm using Swift 4 on iOS11.2
if let defaultCalendar = eventStore.defaultCalendarForNewEvents { <-- error line
newEvent.title = "Some Event Name"
newEvent.startDate = Date()
newEvent.endDate = Date()}
Hi, Filiz. Are you sure you're using Swift 4 and not the Swift 3 compatibility mode? 'defaultCalendarForNewEvents' was marked non-optional in Swift 3 by accident and that was fixed in Swift 4.

Thanks for your response. I will check that now! In the meantime, is there
a release note that states this? I have a stackover flow question on this
and would love to resolve it.

Nothing specific. A lot of minor issues were corrected in the Xcode 9 release with a nod towards maintaining source compatibility, and most of them weren't release-noted.

You were right! I was using Swift 3.2 and not Swift 4.0.
Thank you!
