eventStore=[[EKEventStore alloc] init];
EKEvent *addEvent=[EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore];
addEvent.title=@"hello";
addEvent.startDate=messageDate;
addEvent.endDate=[addEvent.startDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:600];
[addEvent setCalendar:[eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
addEvent.alarms=[NSArray arrayWithObject:[EKAlarm alarmWithAbsoluteDate:addEvent.startDate]];
[eventStore saveEvent:addEvent span:EKSpanThisEvent error:nil];

The code above works fine in ios 4.2 but not in ios 5. I have the code in applicationDidfinishingLaunching method. Due to error, black screen appears and app exits. Only recurrenceRules has changed in ios 5 and I have not made use of it. All other properties are available in superclass EKCalendarItem. I cannot test it since I have xcode 3.2 and snow leopard. I am looking to debug the line at which error occurs causing the app to quit. I doubt it is related to setCalendar or using alarms property.

    The code is correct and works in iOS 5. The reason for my error was the first line

    eventStore=[[EKEventStore alloc] init];

    Since initializing eventstore takes some time, placing it in application launch method resulted in time out. I found it from my crash report stating:

    "Elapsed application CPU time (seconds):30 seconds"

    The app is supposed to launch within 10 seconds. if not time out occurs with Exception Codes: 0x8badf00d
