you can try this code..
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:#"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm a"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:[taskDetails taskStartDateTime]];
if DEBUG
NSLog(#"here is the task start %#",[taskDetails taskStartDateTime]);
endif
NSDate *end = [dateFormatter dateFromString:[taskDetails taskEndDateTime]];
[dateFormatter release];
EKEventStore *eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
EKEvent *event = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore];
event.title = [taskDetails taskGottaDo];
event.startDate = date;
event.endDate = end;
EKAlarm *reminder = [EKAlarm alarmWithRelativeOffset:-6*60*60];
[event addAlarm:reminder];
[event setCalendar:[eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
NSTimeInterval alarmOffset = -1*60;//1 hour
EKAlarm *alarm = [EKAlarm alarmWithRelativeOffset:alarmOffset];
[event addAlarm:alarm];
[eventStore release];
NSError *err;
BOOL saved = [eventStore saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&err];
// NSLog(#"here is the error %#",[eventStore saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&err]);
if (saved == YES)
{
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#""
message:#"Saved to calendar"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"Right On!" otherButtonTitles:nil] ;
[alertView show];
[alertView release];
}
