YABI meets MobileMe Calendar Beta

Apple have recently released the beta version of new MobileMe Calendar: it’s cool, of course, but all calendars on your Mac won’t be local anymore, as they are replaced by CalDav ones.
Unfortunately the Calendar Framework provided by Cocoa doesn’t fully support CalDav: then YABI tries to recreate the calendar, a new local calendar is created instead of a CalDav one.

I’ve already wrote the solution to this bug and soon I’ll release the new version which also includes a way to exclude person from sync.

  1. When will you be releasing this version? I’ve got to update my calendar and it’s not working out very well since I’ve switched over to the CalDav system that MobileMe is now supporting/using.

    • CalDAV support is already implemented: I’m adding some new stuff, but I’m very busy at the moment.
      I could send you a beta version, if you want

  2. Hey thanks for your great app! I’d be happy to test your CalDAV Support. :-)
    Could you please also check the default alarms? I allways get an alarm on 23:00 the day before even if I remove that alarm…
    Thanks a lot!

    P.S. If you are bored, alarms depending on addressbook groups would be great to exclude some people… ;-)

    • Thansk!
      I’m already working on it, YABI is almost ready, need still some testing.
      I’ll send you a beta version, if you want

  3. I finally found out why I always had that an annoying alarm at 23:00. I set in my iCal’s preferences that every new entry should have an alarm 60 Minutes prior to the start time. Useful for manually added events but a pain with these automatically ones…

  4. Yeah, send me your beta if you need testing. No Problem!

  5. I would be happy to beta test the CalDAV version as well. If you would kindly send it to me as well. Thanks!

  6. Ciao!

    I just tried to contact you but the security-code is missing within the contact-form. Maybe you’d like ti fix that ;)

    Then I just wondered, if there is a way to select a google calDav calendar for YABI to use?

    Unlikely Google uses for iCal the functionality “Delegations” to display my calendars. So in YABI I can’t select my Birthday-calendar because its a delegated one… -.-

    Could you imagine a workaround for that?

    Grazie e ciao!

    • Ciao,

      thanks for your report, I recently moved my web space, something sill needs to be fixed.
      Until a month ago, I had a MobileMe account and updated YABI to properly select a CalDAV calendar (at the moment I didn’t renew subscription, I can’t test it anymore). I’m trying to address google delegation, but I’m really very busy at the moment.
      I hope you might wait.

      regards!!

      • Certo!

        Of cause I’ll wait!

        Non ti stressate troppo ;)

        • Hi Jonas,

          at first sight, cocoa framework doesn’t support calendar delegation.
          I didn’t go into it thoroughly, but the calendar store only returns “main” calendar and there’s no trace of their delegates.

          I gonna search for some other solution if any :-)
          Cheers!

  7. hi, would love to beta test as well, thanks!

  8. I would love to test the beta as well. It would be great if you could send it to me. thanks

  9. I’d love to be a beta tester too :-)

  10. Ma adesso con ios5 e lion.. finisce tutto? cioè sono anni che uso yabi e devo dire che funziona eccellentemente!! Grazie mille del servizio GRATIS

    • Ciao Stefano,

      confesso di non essermi documentato sugli impatti che Lion possa avere su YABI, purtroppo per mancanza di tempo.
      Per lo stesso motivo non ho ancora pubblicato il supporto per i CalDAV.

      Un saluto!

  11. Is the new version ready yet?

  12. I’d love also to be a beta tester ;)

  13. I’d love to be a beta tester too! Thanks a lot!

  14. Hi,
    does this work with OS X Lion?
