iCloud — vdirsyncer 0.16.8 documentation

# 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.
