Calendar subscription not updating - iOS 13.5

Hi, I got a problem to get subscribed calendar to sync in iOS 13.5.

I go to accounts, add, and add the URL of the service that shares my corporative calendar. The URL sends an .ics file - and used to work with no problems.

When it suddenly stop working, I try to delete and add again the calendar subscription account and get two types of errors:

1.Message of SSL could not be connected (and accessing the ICS URL it´s okay with SSL, HTTPS)

2.Account data could not be verified.

I am struggling with this for the past weeks.

If I go and access the URL in mobile safari, it does show all the appointments and the option to add them to the calendar - but the subscription for sync is not working.

Copied the .ics to an URL bellow.

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities, Carlos_Lopes!

From our understanding, you’re unable to import a .ics Calendar invite on your iPhone. We’d be happy to shed some light on this.

To import .ics files specifically, you’d want to complete that process on a Mac using: Import or export calendars on Mac - Apple Support For your iPhone, you can use CalDAV events using these steps: Send and receive invitations in Calendar on iPhone - Apple Support According to this article, not all servers support all features, so since you mentioned this is related to a corporation, you may need to contact them directly regarding this.

Alternatively, you can use iCloud calendar subscriptions as well for all of your devices, but it’s important to note that if you subscribe on your iPhone first, it won’t update to your other devices: Use iCloud calendar subscriptions - Apple Support

Have a great day!
