iCal will not send if location is added to event

In addition to the location, my invites are not received if I put anything in the Notes field. By removing the notes and resending it to the Invitee it is received. In addition, if I add notes or location after the invite is accepted, the updates are NOT received and only show up in my own calendar entry.

yes latest 10.2 here - three brand new 7plus phones just recently purchased. No addresses, notes, or even a long event title kills the invite. This HAS to be their calendar spam solution messing up functionality. Clearly just not maps, and it doesnt make sense why a long event title has any bearing on not being able to get the invite into icloud. It is truly a "gremlins" scenario, and i believe it is because that is exactly what they are chasing. But it seems so extreme to kill a product in order to keep out spammers - reeks of amateur software engineers. This must be the brain drain everyone talks about at Apple.

TThe problem is still occurring for me, and has now for several weeks. Very annoying. What makes it insidious is you don't realize meeting recipients didn't receive the invite.

I wasn't expecting a lot of progress on this during the last week of the year, but you'd think Apple would throw it's A list people at this issue. If they want people to use Apple software for their business lives, they have to do a better job.

This has been happening to me since late November/Early December.

I was manually adding some December/January Calendar events (adding suggested Apple Maps locations) and the inviting a couple family members. After about three invites to events, the invitations stopped going through. One other did go through but it had "TBD" as the location.

Fast foreward: Tonight I removed the suggested Apple Maps locations and left only location names and the invites began to flow! I was able to reproduce it as described above and below in every instance.

1. Both macOS Sierra & iOS 10.2 Calendar apps are affected in my case.

2. It only has happened to me with using suggested Apple Maps locations.

3. I have had no problems with Emojis nor adding notes, only with suggested Apple Maps locations.

I was able to create an event then invite without a location on macOS. After accepting I could modify it on an iOS device and add a suggested Apple Maps location. The the invite would then update to the suggested Apple Maps location for the invitee.

I wonder if my initial action of sending multiple event invites in a short time triggered some anti-spam block in iCloud servers? This began around the same day Apple announced it was going to start actively blocking spam invites. My hope is that I have not been put of some spam list.

I submitted a bug report to the Calendar Engineering Team. It was quick and simple.

I've had issues where my wife gets the invite, but she has no options to accept, maybe, or decline. It just gives her the "ok" option. The event still goes on her shared Calendar though. But in mine, it shows "No Reply" from her.

Count me in as well. This has been driving me crazy. I have tried everything to get it work and it still has been sporadic even with no location in the event. When someone does finally get an invite from me, it is coming from an old @me.com address I don't think I ever used. So they aren't even sure it's me when the invite without location was sent.

I noticed yesterday for the first time that an email gets generated (with a calendar invite attachment) and sent to the recipient. If the recipient opens the invite attachment, he/she can accept the invite and it posts to his/her calendar. This is different than it used to work, and may just be a workaround that Apple has developed, but it is working

I Intermittently will get the same type of emailed calendar events and in my case when I accept them, they do not add to my calendar, nor reply to the sender. I think it's just more of the same problem.........sigh.

So its now May and I still haven't seen a solution to this yet!

I have had similar but different issues and mine started mid December as well. I am in tears because I am on my 3rd senior advisor and they eventually fall off the face of the earth and stop contacting/responding to me! I have been in contact with them since the beginning of January😢😢😢

I have 3 iCloud accounts (his/hers/work) His and hers are both working perfectly fine... sending/receiving!!! The work one however is the problem.

I originally was not able to send or receive, but now I can only receive... However, my problem lies with me not being able to send to my clients!

I purchased the iPhone 7 when it first came out and did not have this problem until December, so I knew it was not the new phone. But since, I have gotten a new MacBook pro and Desktop (both in January) thinking that may solve the problem but it did not.

I have created new email addresses (att, gmail and iCloud) and ALL of them will only receive not send! For my clients, I never put anything in location, so that's where my problem differs a little from most of the posts I am seeing here. I have also done this from iCal app (on phone, mac, macbook pro) and done it from iCloud.com (on all three as well) Still no difference.

It still doesn't make any sense that 2 of my email/iCloud accounts are working fine but only one is not.

If anyone has found a solution, has advice or remembers how to get ahold of the person they spoke with that was able to help, I would greatly appreciate it! I'm so frustrated that I cannot get anyone to follow up with me!!!

I have exactly same issue with the accept/maybe/decline options MISSING on my iPhone invites but they are visible on my iPad - both running same OS. Did you find a fix?? (My issue seems to have nothing to do with including or excluding an address)
