Testing Calendar Add Invitee Capability on Simulator

 

When running the simulator, one can create a Calendar Event. The next capability we want to test is to create a Calendar Event with an invitee list.   It seems that since the Simulator does not have a true email service, the Send As button does not appear at top of the New event screen and the Invite Attendee menu option does not appear when in the New event entry screen.

 

This happens even when the Email simulator is running.

 

Any suggestions on how we can test the creation of a calendar event with an associated invitee list on the simulator ?

 

(Our purpose would be served by getting an entry into the simulator calendar for a calendar event with a invitee list, but when we try to send an email to the simulator using the email simulator with an ICS attachment, the simulator crashes also)

 

Thanks.

Re: Testing Calendar Add Invitee Capability on Simulator

We ended up modifying the PIMDemo sample code from JDE samples to insert invitees manualy in the calendar event on the simulator.  This still works in the absence of a true email capability on the simulator.

 

The only other workaround was to configure the simulator with BES and use the BES email/attachment handling capability to interpret a recieved calendar invite and insert to simulator calendar.
