BUG: iOS Default Calendar App + Google Calendar = Missing Events/Locations

Yeah, I can confirm it. Fortunately, I never add locations to events that way.

THIS!

Seems the bug is that the calendar event doesn't sync when it includes a location that you've never used before.

Can anybody else confirm?

I have an iPhone 6 Plus and I have this same problem since updating to iOS9. I use my iOS Calendar app to create appointments to visit clients where the address I'm inputting is a new place I've never been. I had recently noticed that some appointments did not show up on my Google Calendar while others did. It turns out the ones that showed up had no address associated. I was just starting to wonder if it was adding an address that caused this, but I see that the appointments WILL SYNC IF there is NO address or IF the address is a Recent Address. It is only newly searched addresses that do not allow the appointment to SYNC. I was wondering if this was an Apple problem or Google problem; what you've found leads me to believe it is an Apple issue. It's annoying that something so useful has become troubling to use.

I hope Apple fixes this in a coming update. For now I have the annoying task of adding the address, then saving; editing the appointment and deleting the address; then re-adding the address now that it will show up as a Recent Address.

Thanks for your post, TheTominator.

Same issue for me.

Here's what I've found…and it is indeed weird.

I can create any kind of event in iOS calendar and it will sync fine with Google calendar—except in one case. And it does not matter whether I use the "Recents" list or the "Locations" list to fill the "Location" field.

Whether I enter the information in the "Location" field manually or whether I use either the "Recents" or "Locations" lists it will not sync with Google calendar if it includes the default of ", STATE ZIP-CODE,".

To be clear, as of iOS 9.1, the default address format for locations automatically found by iOS is "PLACE NAME, STREET ADDRESS, CITY, STATE ZIP-CODE, COUNTRY". If I allow iOS to populate my "Location" field with that information and then I edit it to simply have have a comma after the state (or more drastic changes) then it will sync with Google calendar.

It's as though Google calendar doesn't like Apple's way of listing the zip code after the state with no comma. Or, it could be the two-space gap between the two items. I'm not sure about that.

Anyway, I won't be accepting iOS's default address without tweaking it before finalizing the entry.

I'm seeing the same problem as @TheTominator on iPhone 6, iOS 9.1. Events don't sync with Google Calendar if the location is selected from 'Locations'. Selecting locations from 'Recents' enables syncing and is my current work-around. Very odd.
