Every time I use my apple devices I’m receiving a pop up message “cannot verify server identity stanza.co”. I think Apple is notifying me that this site is not safe so I hit ‘cancel’. I’m guessing that this site somehow keeps trying to access my devices so how do I block it or stop these pop up’s from happening all the time? Thank you!

UPDATE: jeffh29’s reply above 100% fixed the issue. You need to ‘Delete Account’ under ‘Subscribed Calendars’ for whatever sports calendar subscriptions you have. It is a certificate problem.
NOTE: you will need to delete the calendar accounts from ALL of your Apple devices or the pop up’s will continue on those devices. For me, the URL was stanza.**/api/schedules/michigan/m-footbl.ics. The posts would imply that multiple sports and teams were affected. All from stanza.co. Thank you jeffh29 for helping solve this annoying issue!

NHL calendar on my phone ended up being the instigator. Looks like it was the problem for others as well.
to fix it:
Go to setting>calendar>accounts>subscribed calendars>clicking on each account to check which had server’s listed as “stanza.co” and deleting those calendars.
go hawks
Thank you for the solution. I discovered the San Jose Earthquakes calendar was causing the alert “stanza.co” mentioned above so I turned off alerts and deleted the calendar. Problem solved.
Thank you for this because the notification window would randomly pop up from time to time.
FIXED! This is a calendar subscription service. Mine was for the Seahawks. Open you Calendar application, click “Calendars” at the bottom (if you are using Apple’s calendar app), look for any “subscribed” calendar, click on the “i” icon on the far right, click on “subscription details” and check the “Subscribed to” web address to see if it contains anything with “Stanza.co”, then just go back one level and hit “unsubscribe”.
It was the men's and women's national soccer team schedule I was following on my calendar. I had to go to Calendars and then started looking at the details of each subscribed events before finding and deleting these. I could not do it through settings.
In my case this is very likely tied to a calendar I'm subscribed to for hockey schedules. I'm guessing their certificate expired and they forgot to renew it. Check through your calendar subscriptions to see if you have anything related to stanza.co and you can unsubscribe to it if you want the message to go away immediately, or wait for them to figure it out.
This happened with a friend's phone earlier this afternoon. Go to Settings > Calendars > Accounts > Subscribed Calendars and check that the server field doesn't have that URL. If it does, try removing/deleting the account. It's likely that the Stanza certificate expired and hasn't been renewed yet. Or, it could be spam-related (I hadn't heard of Stanza before today).
It is not in the “settings “… open your calendar app from your Home Screen. From there, look at the bottom of the page, in the middle of the screen, you will see “calendars”.
click in that and it will take you to any sport team you may be subscribed to. Just un-click the checkmark.
May least that’s where I found mine!
I fixed mine by following the solution in this guide: Fix Cannot Verify Server Identity on iPhone. The issue occurred because the certificate for the subscribed calendar had expired. In my case, I was subscribed to an NBA sports calendar that used Stanza. I went to my Calendar app, deleted the subscribed calendar, and now the popup is gone.
Thank you runelind! Had to look at my calendar subscriptions and found the Oregon Ducks College football had stanza.co as part of their website subscription details. I will report back if the pop up continues.
Tink127, it looks like (from your photo), that you are in the “settings”.
You need to open the calendar app from your Home Screen.
After you open your calendar, look at the bottom of the page, and in the middle, click on that word (“calendars”). There you will find all the calendars you are subscribed to.
Just “uncheck” any calendars there that relate to a sports team.
Hi thanks! I didn't have the calendar app installed on my phone so it made it all the more confusing. I re-installed it and unsubscribed from a college soccer calendar. So far, I haven't gotten the pop up again- Hopefully that's fixed it!
Ahhh, thank you! Just yesterday I began getting pop-up messages regarding the stanza server. Had never seen it before and couldn’t figure it out in Settings.
I went into my calendar app, selected “calendars” and there was a sports calendar and I saw “stanza”. I turned off whatever was “on” in those settings then just unsubscribed. Hoping that’ll solve the issue and stop the pop-up messages.
Thanks to Jeffh29!! Jeffh29’s reply fixed the issue. You need to ‘Delete Account’ under ‘Subscribed Calendars’ for whatever sports calendar subscriptions you have. Mine was a calendar for Buckeye Football.
It seems to be my St. Louis Blues Calendar I downloaded. I deleted from the most recent and re-added through nhl website. Looks like a different calendar source now. No more certificate alerts now.
