Ios calendar sync google calendar

I am having a problem with google calendar syncing with apple calendars. Problem began recently, but not sure of exact date. Symptoms:

-google calander is my master calendar and looks fine when viewed on host PC or through the Google Calendar app.

-Events on Google calendar are not visable on Iphone, or Macbook calendar. However, they are visable on IPad. Iphone and Ipad are on same level IOS 11.2.2 awaiting 11.3 due to reported issues. Macbook is up to date too.

-New events entered on all devices do appear on Google calendar and on Iphone, however, calendar changes seem to cause some other events to disappear randomly from IPhone.

-All standard resolutions on iphone have failed.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.2.2

I came across this thread while researching the same issue for a client of mine. Her symptoms seem to have been triggered after the Mac had a period of inability to connect to the Google server which resulted in the Calendar app giving some error messages. After that the Mac (10.13.3) has worst symptoms of non-sync to server, but iPhone (11.2.6) is also intermittently failing to sync or taking a very long time.

Non-syncing is one symptom but worryingly, as mentioned above, there are also symptoms of entered events disappearing.

My belief is that the underlying sync engine (potentially on both the Mac & iPhone) is then getting tangled with one or several corrupted calendar entries. I don't have any proven resolution as yet but am proceeding down the track of exporting all calendar items, then completely clearing the devices & Google account of all calendar entries & then re-importing.

Temporary work around for my client is to use web browser interface to Google calendar on her Mac and the Google Calendar app on her iPhone.

I'd be happy to hear from anybody else who has a definitive solution.
