    ICS sync is a compatibility workaround from 1998. Google Calendar works natively on Android without any third party apps. The fact that syncing an iCal file requires a Fossify workaround on Android is a problem Apple created on purpose to lock users into their ecosystem.

      Oh no are you one of the proprietary Android guys? I dont use Google apps, Google Calendar might well support ICS links natively but I dont use that malware XD

      But yes it is odd that ICS is read only. CalDAV is better.

        No, it is definitely not the same app. DAVx5 is for CalDAV, ICSx5 is for webcal, which is what you have.

    You add calendars via a calendar app, not Davx5

      No, the calendar app has no sync itself. I use ICSx5 now and add that import from the app
