Calendar and Reminder Permission

[shima93]

I am trying to use Expo-calendar in my project. I want to use the "Calendar.createEventAsync(calendarId, details)" which is working fine. However, my concern is about the Reminder-permission.
I use "Calendar.getDefaultCalendarAsync()" for getting the default calendar id and the I use "Calendar.createEventAsync()" method to just create an event in Calendar. I don't want to use Reminder, why do I need reminder permission(for ios)?
is there any way that I can just ask for calendar permission for creating an event?

@lukmccall / @tsapeta - this appears to be related to #7928

if you run https://snack.expo.io/@notbrent/basic-calendar-usage on ios you will see "REMINDERS permission is required to do this operation." in logs (this is a slightly modified version of the example from the docs).

@shima93 - until we get more clarity on this, i'd recommend requesting reminder permissions using this method.

I'm a little bit confused about this issue.

I've created a demo that should explain everything ;)

The one certain thing is that we have a bug in our documentation - to get all calendars you need to have all permissions or pass entity type to Calendar.getDefaultCalendarAsync.

On the screenshots, you can see, that I've managed to create a new calendar and event without reminders permission.
