X-APPLE-DEFAULT-ALARM to remove default alarm from iOS 6 subscribed calendar events?

After upgrading to iOS 6, all events in subscribed calendars get a default alarm. Is there a directive inside the .ics stream that can stop this from happening?

Searching the web I found an “X-APPLE-DEFAULT-ALARM:TRUE” directive but it doesn’t seem to work and I can’t find any Apple documentation on it. Can you direct me to the full list/documentation of iOS 6 supported “X-APPLE“ extensions to iCalendar?

Thanks!

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1

We ran into this as well. It was BusyCal adding a default alarm to all events in a shared Google calendar. If you open up the iCal feed, you'll see these added to the events by BusyCal.

BEGIN:VALARM

ACTION:AUDIO

TRIGGER:-PT15H

X-WR-ALARMUID:
UID:
X-APPLE-DEFAULT-ALARM:TRUE
ATTACH;VALUE=URI:Basso
END:VALARM
