Calendar won't sync to iOS from iCloud

I've only just become aware of this issue - not sure if it arrived with iOS 8.4?

If I add or delete an event on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.4), it syncs to iCloud immediately and on to my Mac (Yosemite 10.10.4).

If I add or delete an event on my Mac, it syncs to iCloud no problem (checked with the iCloud calendar web page) but DOESN'T appear on my iPhone.

I can force my iPhone to sync (tap Calendars, swipe down to refresh) and that works each time. I don't want to do that every time I add an event on my Mac though!

Problem appears to be that the iPhone is not receiving a push notification from iCloud. Ideas anyone?

I have already:

- turned off and on the calendar on my iCloud account from my iPhone

- restarted the Calendar app on my iPhone

- restarted my iPhone

- I have no other Calendars enabled on my iPhone

Cheers!

Bob

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

Hi,

Thank you SO MUCH for telling us about the workaround (click calendar, pull down to refresh).

I'm having a similar problem with my contacts--wondering about a "refresh" option there...

I am on ios 8.4

Again--thanks for taking time to post this, it helps

I'm also having this problem since 8.4 - on calendar and contacts.

Manual contacts refresh is done by going to Contacts, tapping groups button if it exists, or pressing refresh button in top left corner.

Count me in. Only happens with iCloud appts, Exchange calendars are Ok. Everyone, hit the Feedback page and report it so hopefully it can get fixed soon.

Hello guys.

I also have the same Calendar problem on my iPhone (iOS 8.4 12H143). But when doing a bit of testing between iCloud, my iPhone and my iPad (also iOS 8.4 12H143), I noticed that the iPad does not have the problem. All my Calendar events synch perfectly between iCloud and the iPad regardless of where the event was created/modified/deleted...My iPad is a 3rd generation Wi-Fi only.

Furthermore, I also found out that if you create a calendar event on the iPhone, it automatically synch to iCloud, but at the same time, everything that was created/modified/deleted on iCloud is then synched to the iPhone. This was before I read about the "calendar swipe down" maneuver, which works for me also.

Thank's and have a nice day.
