Client Support
iOS Safari
- Mobile Safari on iOS 10 appears to support "webcal:" links and when activated presents the user with a dialog like:
"Subscribe to the Calendar “calendarname”?"
[ Subscribe ] [ Cancel ]
If you choose Subscribe, the dialog changes to
"The Calendar “calendarname” has been added"
[ View Events ] [ Done ]
If you choose View Events, the Calendar app opens to show you events in a list view with the events from the calendar you just subscribed to.
