iCloud

Vdirsyncer is regularly tested against iCloud.

[storage cal]
type = "caldav"
url = "https://caldav.icloud.com/"
username = ...
password = ...

[storage card]
type = "carddav"
url = "https://contacts.icloud.com/"
username = ...
password = ...

Problems:

  • Vdirsyncer can’t do two-factor auth with iCloud (there doesn’t seem to be a way to do two-factor auth over the DAV APIs) You’ll need to use app-specific passwords instead.
  • iCloud has a few special requirements when creating collections. In principle vdirsyncer can do it, but it is recommended to create them from an Apple client (or the iCloud web interface).
    • iCloud requires a minimum length of collection names.
    • Calendars created by vdirsyncer cannot be used as tasklists.
