I'm trying to make an .ics file and by URL import put the events into google calendar. But the problem is that after I import them to google calendar it only show the last event. I don't understand what am I doing wrong I even exported a calendar from GC and tried to generate my calendar to look exactly as the exported one.
Here is the URL to the .ics file:
http://bme.hracsi.net/includes/download.php?sub=2,3,4&sem=2
All your events have the same UID
RFC5545 §3.8.4.7 specifies "UID" itself MUST be a globally unique identifier.
to make it work you must change this property value.
BEGIN:VCALENDAR

I have *.ics file. Where I have one event with one attendee but the event was imported but the attendee was not. What did I do wrong?

I tried to export the event from google calendar. I changed the uid and imported it back, but the attendees weren't there either.
Can you please give me an advice, what is the correct property name with value (if there any is) for .ics file to display Out of Office status/event type in Google calendar ?
Based on Google calendar API here, there is just attribute "eventType" with values and it does not work.
This is .ics file example with "eventType" attribute in:

Thank you.
I have a ICS feed for a calendar, that I subscribe from Google calendar.
As soon as I add the feed, it shows all the events perfectly. But when I edit events, it doesn't update. So it seems like it can read the feed, but doesn't sync it.
If I remove the feed and add it again, its still not synced. But if I add a parameter to the url (ex. &x=1), it will import the updates, but still not sync. So it seems like Google is caching the feed pr. url, but doesn't sync after the url has been added.
Anyone else had this issue, or know a solution?
SOLUTION UPDATE: 12/03 - 2020
I missed the fields "SEQUENCE" and "LAST-MODIFIED". Credits to #anmari for spotting the error.
The calendar now syncs perfectly with Google.

Bjorn
to tell any calendar application that an event has been updated (so that it will sync it) one needs fields to be updated for the event that is being modified, and add:
LAST-MODIFIED:19960817T133000Z
SEQUENCE:1 (of update)

I have a full day event which I want to export to my Google calendar via an ics file. The format of the ics file is as follows

TYPE:VCALENDAR
UID:xxx

DTSTART:20130910T000000Z
DTSTAMP:20130909T235959Z
DTEND:20130910T000000Z
I am facing 2 problems
In Google this event does not show up as a full day event i.e. It shows up as a normal event
How do I remove the time from the event i.e. Its a full day event but showing up as starting at 5:30 am . I am in the Indian Timezone UTC +5:30
You need to use the DATE format of RFC5545
In your case, that would be
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130910
On the other hand, you do not need a DTEND.
You should also remove those TYPE properties ("TYPE:VCALENDAR" and "TYPE:VEVENT") which are not valid.
Finally, the first UID property (the one directly under TYPE:VCALENDAR) is not valid there. Only the second one is valid and required.
I'm trying to add recurring events to my personal calendar via .ics, The client imports and adds the first event to the calendar but doesn't create other repeating events.
I'm actually creating a recurring event which happens daily, below is the sample of my .ics file.

looks like the problem is with the client s/w, not your ics file.
Your code above validates at http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/
and loads and recurs fine in google calendar.
see https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=jpkdu09olie8uveopl72oguj2s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Australia/Sydney
Cross test on some more other calendar clients to verify.
