iPhone delta app Calendar Permission Required but app not listed in Privacy & Security

I’m running 17.4.1 and once I added my flight to the delta fly app, while looking at the details of the flight, I clicked on the 3 dots on the top right of the screen and it gave me the option to ‘add to calendar’ after that I got a requested to give the app full access, which I did, and now all my upcoming flights are on my calendar app.

Problem is finally fixed in iOS 17.4. When you try to add the app will ask for permission. I just updated and it works now.

I could only get it to work if I give Delta "Full Access", so I'm pretty sure it's a Delta problem. Why would I want to give them that? It used to work when you just had "Add Events Only" checked. So now I'm turning full access on only when I add a flight, and then turning it off. You find the "Add to Calendar" function when you pull up your flight, then tap the 3 dots at the top right.

AppleCare says this is an issue with the FlyDelta app. There is no way to "force" an app to have access to the Calendar if it hasn't asked for it. Any app that has asked for and has been granted is automatically added, depending on what kind of access you've allowed the app: None, Add events only, or Full access (see image, attached to this post)

Settings>Privacy and Security>Calendars>[Name of app]>None (No Access), Add Events Only, Full Access.

This might be glitch in the FlyDelta app on newer phones running the latest iOS. Delta just hasn't caught up with it. If you are a Skymiles member, especially a Medallion member, call Delta out on Social media and lodge a complaint via Feedback on their website, by email, or by phone.

Hi! I have been having the same issue but just updated my phone to 17.4 and went back into my Fly Delta app. When I clicked add to calendar it asked me this time if I wanted to allow access to my calendar and I was able to add my tickets!

@Epic007, If you double click on the .ics file, it automatically adds it to the Calendar, regardless where you download it from.

If you scroll up in this thread, you'll see that I was able to download a .ics file from the Delta website. BUT it was only for the outbound leg--the website would not download the entire RT itinerary.

Something is definitely wrong with Delta website AND the app. Delta either hasn't updated their app to the new iOS, or their update is buggy. Spent an hour on the phone with AppleCare iOS technician and that was the conclusion we came to after going through the troubleshooting steps.

Had the same issue, My fix was to go to my desktop and open up the Delta site from my browser. In there I was able to open the trip and select add to calendar. From there is synced to my phone!

So this doesn’t fix the problem but at least it’s a work around until Delta fixes the app. In iOS add the itinerary to a google calendar and then switch the calendar in the event to the iCloud calendar. Obviously it requires you to have both accounts set up in the native mail and calendar settings.

Having the same issue. Just updated to latest IOS version (17.3.1) and no change. Followed same steps you outlined with same results. Can’t find any option to trigger Fly Delta app to be listed in calendar privacy settings.

Experiencing same problem with both Delta and Alaska Air, which tells me it's likely an iOS issue, not a problem with the flight apps. There's no place in iOS Settings or in the individual app setting that allows me to adjust calendar permissions.

IOS 17.3

Go to

Settings

Delta APP

Calendars (set to FULL Access)

This worked for me, Good luck

I am not sure this is a Delta problem. I am noticing the same issue with new apps that I install not being able to prompt for permissions to calendar. It might be something in an iOS update that broke it.

Can you please take screen captures of this? I simply do not see that.

Curious. There is no Calendars menu item under my Fly Delta app settings.

Only: Location, Camera, Face ID, Siri & Search, Notifications, Background App Refresh, Cellular Data, Arrival Notifications

iOS 17.3.1

If another person buys your ticket, then that person needs to invite you from their calendar for it to show up on yours. Delta requires you to put in the confirmation code to even see the trip on the app if you didn’t buy the ticket. You can’t add it directly once you locate it or add permission. They have their reasons I guess.
