My standalone watchOS app is trying to read from the calendar via EventKit. It seems to only see local calendars though, not any of my iCloud calendars. Do I have to do something special to be able to view the iCloud based calendars?

@Gargoyle Have you ever found out what the problem is? I am having the same problem. Example code see here:

import SwiftUI
import EventKit

struct ContentView: View {

  let eventStore = EKEventStore()
  @State var success: Bool = false
  @State var calendarNames: [String] = [String]()

  func request() async {
    success = (try? await eventStore.requestFullAccessToEvents()) ?? false
  }

  func list() {
    calendarNames = eventStore.calendars(for: .event).map { $0.title }
  }

  var body: some View {
    VStack {
      Image(systemName: "globe")
        .imageScale(.large)
        .foregroundStyle(.tint)
      Text("Access: \(success.description)")
      ScrollView {
        ForEach(calendarNames, id: \.self) { name in
          Text(name)
        }
      }
    }
    .onAppear {
      Task {
        await request()
        list()
      }
    }
    .padding()
  }
}
