Calendar Invites from Mac - Attachments not sending

When I sent a meeting invite with an attachment, the invitees are not getting the attachment.


I clearly see the attachment in the invite on my calendar.


The invite is coming from an icloud calendar.

jdsaurborn,


Got it. Since, we're able to isolate this behavior to the Calendar app of the Mac, we suggest to restart your Mac in safe mode. This helps to perform a basic check of your startup disk, deletes some system caches and more. Here's a link with additional details and the proper steps to restart the Mac in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac


Once the Mac is in safe mode, please restart your Mac as normal and test to see if your invitees can view the attachments from a calendar invite.


In addition, please ensure that you're on the latest version of the macOS operating system. This helps provide software improvements that can help: How to update the software on your Mac


Kind regards.

jdsaurborn,


Thanks for getting back to us. To help isolate and determine, if this is an issue related to your iCloud account or the Mac. We suggest to log in with your Apple ID account through the website for iCloud. From there, please create a new calendar invite to your invitees and add an attachment. Please let us know if they're able to view the attachments without any issue. Here's the website: iCloud


Here's more information about using iCloud.com: Use iCloud.com


Cheers.

I apologize my earlier response was incorrect. The attachment did not go with the meeting notice when sent directly from icloud. The person who checked for me saw the ics file and though that was the attachment.


I also restarted in safe mode and tried it from the app while in safe mode and it did not work.


Restarted again and it did not work.


i am on Catalina 10.15.7
