CalendarStore was deprecated in macOS 10.8 and doesn't integrate with modern macOS privacy controls (TCC), causing "No calendars" errors. This migration to EventKit enables proper permission prompts and calendar/reminders access on modern macOS. Key changes: - Add EventKitStore.m for EKEventStore singleton and permission handling - Update calendarStoreImport.h with EventKit imports and compatibility typedefs - Update Makefile to link EventKit framework - Update icalBuddyFunctions.m for EventKit calendar/event/task queries - Update icalBuddyPrettyPrint.m for EKEvent/EKReminder property access - Update icalBuddyFormatting.m for CGColor to NSColor conversion - Handle EventKit API differences (URL vs url, calendarIdentifier vs uid, etc.) - Add @available checks for macOS 10.15+ CGColor API Tested: calendars, eventsToday, calendar filters, formatted output Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <[email protected]>
- Document the EventKit migration and why it's needed - Add installation and usage instructions - Include troubleshooting section for common issues - Credit all authors in fork lineage table - Add separate LICENSE file with full attribution Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <[email protected]>

Summary
This PR migrates icalBuddy from the deprecated CalendarStore framework to EventKit, fixing the "No calendars" issue on modern macOS (10.14+).
The Problem
CalendarStore was deprecated in macOS 10.8 (2012) and doesn't integrate with macOS's privacy system (TCC - Transparency, Consent, and Control). On modern macOS, this causes icalBuddy to report "No calendars" even when calendars exist and permissions are granted in System Settings.
The Solution
EventKit is Apple's supported framework for calendar/reminders access. It:
