The Discussion
-
run ranger This is great. Thanks for the walkthrough. Will it be possible with the updated calendar interfaces to add more than one appointment at a time? I currently allow users to schedule individual workouts with my running app by prepopulating a calendar item then launching the task for them to complete. However, I could envision helping them out by creating entire schedules if it were possible to programmatically create a few dozen appointments at once.
