Calendar subscription validation failed. please edit the url and try again

When trying to use my iPhone XR calendar to subscribe to an organization's public calendar, I get an "Insecure Connection" dialogue box, then this error message:


Dialogue box: "Insecure Connection The connection is not secure. Do you want to continue subscribing"

Error message: "Validation failed. please edit the url and try again."


What does this mean?

Is it something I can correct? or . . .

Is it a problem the organization needs to correct on their website?


Thanks!

iPhone XR

Hey CherryFire3,


Since you're getting an error when trying to subscribe to a calendar, the issue may be related to with the URL. Check to see if it works in a web browser.


If you continue to experience the issue with this URL and haven't experienced it with any previous calendars, we recommend contacting the organization to confirm information is correct.


If you are having issues with multiple calendars, and you've restarted the iPhone, reaching out to Apple Support here: Get Support. They will be able to investigate this further with you.


Take care.
