Accessing the event store

## Discussion

Discussion Requesting access to an event store asynchronously prompts people for permission to use their data. The operating system only prompts them the first time your app requests access to reminders; any subsequent instantiations of EKEventStore uses existing permissions. When they grant or deny access, EventKit calls the completion handler on an arbitrary queue. Your app isn’t blocked while the person decides to grant or deny permission. Because they may deny permission, your app should handle cases where it doesn’t receive access to the event store. important: If your app has never requested access, you must request access to reminders before attempting to fetch or create them. If you request reminders before prompting the person for access with this method, you’ll need to reset the event store with the reset() method to receive data after they grant access.
