Apple Calendar not syncing with Google Calendar

My Apple Calendar is no longer syncing with Google Calendar.

1) When I add/edit events on my iCalendar app on my iPhone these do not appear on the Google Calendar

2) When I do the same but logging into iCloud and accessing Calendar, same result; no change on Google Calendar

3) Changes ARE syncing on the Apple Calendars (icloud and iphone app)

4) Any and all events added/editted on Google Calendar are synching TO my iCalendar app on my iPhone

5) I've tried deleting that Apple Calendars, then adding them back (copying the URL, paste, etc). When I do, everyting appears in the Google Calendar.

6) But, again when I try to add or edit Apple Calendar events, they do not appear in Google Calendar

7) Lastly, when I try to delete or edit Apple Calendar events via my Google Calendar I am unable. "You do not have permission to edit this event." pops up.

I've been on Apple Support via Chat. Nothing worked. Told me to check with Google support (which there isn't any) and then call the Apple support number.

Called the Apple Support number. They couldn't figure it out.

She put me on hold to speak with her supervisor. Came back and said that since the iCloud Calendar and iCalendar on my iPhone ARE synching with each other, then there isn't anything more that they will do. "It's a problem on Googles end. Is there anything else that I can help you with?"

Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, what steps did you take to make you Google Calendar receive Apple Calendar info?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

For me the issue was a changed google password.

Go to iOS Settings -> Calendar -> Accounts -> Gmail, check if there's an error there with a prompt to re-login. After login with the new password iOS -> Google Calendar sync works immediately, Google Calendar -> iOS takes up to 10 mins.

This doesn’t work. I have it set to add events only and events aren’t being added. I shouldn’t have to give full access to do this.

I'm not clear on what you mean by your #1 instruction - I do not see an 'Event Details' when I create an event in Apple Cal. (is Apple Cal the same as iCal?)

When I go to "Google" Calendar, as directed, I do NOT see any Apple Calendar accounts listed, nor do I have the option to add anything but Google calendars. Did I miss something?

To those of you who may read this thread, I want to share an update.

There doesn't seem to be a true solution to this issue. I just finished up a chat with Google tech support. And the conclusion that we came to is that there doesn't seem to be a true solution to this issue. He stated that "To be honest with you, there is a long history of incompatible between iOs and Google Apps."

In another thread posted here by someone experiencing the same issue, he decided to go with the only choice left, which was to no longer enter iCloud Calendar events on his iCalendar app. He will just make everything Gmail events, and I will do the same. I'll select my Gmail "Home" calendar as the default calendar on my iPhone. This is a little frustrating because if/when I can make the move from a Windows laptop to a MacBook, I will have to almost start over with my calendars. I LOVE the feature of ALL of my info being synced between iPhone, iCloud, and the MacBook that I'll purchase. This includes calendars. But, I just won't be able to have access to current entries without opening up Google Calendar online.

Oh well. I guess that it's not a big deal. I just wish that this option presented by both Apple and Google of syncing these calendars truly did work 100%.

Have a great day!
