Overview
The device_calendar package is a cross-platform Flutter plugin that enables apps to interact with the user's device calendars on both Android and iOS. It allows reading, creating, updating, and deleting calendar events and calendars directly from the device's native calendar system. Designed for seamless integration, it provides a consistent API across platforms while respecting platform-specific behaviors and permissions.
