Discussion
In iOS 6 and later, requesting access to an event store asynchronously prompts your users for permission to use their data. The user is only prompted the first time your app requests access to an entity type; any subsequent instantiations of EKEventStore uses existing permissions. When the user taps to grant or deny access, the completion handler will be called on an arbitrary queue. Your app isn’t blocked while the user decides to grant or deny permission.
After users choose their permission level, the event store either calls the completion handler or broadcasts an EKEventStoreChangedNotification. The completion handler is called on iOS 6 and later, and the notification is broadcasted on iOS 5. Because users may deny access to the event store, your app should handle an empty data case.
