How do I programmatically access reminders?

Question

I may be wrong, but it looks like there is no public API to create/access programmatically reminders in iOS 5. However, there is an app for iPhone that can access them: see this video.

The question is: how they do this? Is there any undocumented way to access reminders ? I also looked at the relevant documentation for iCloud, but did not find anything related.

It seems that there is no public API. Look here to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7653963/is-it-possible-to-interact-with-ios-5s-reminders-app-from-my-app — shannoga, Dec 04 '11 at 14:07

For iOS 6.0 there is Event Kit framework grants access to users’ Reminders.app information.

Refer ReadingAndWritingReminders link. Hope helpful

Yes, but this is a new API introduced in iOS 6. The question was referred to iOS 5. – Massimo Cafaro Oct 11 '12 at 16:19

Get reminder list

EKEventStore *store = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];
[store requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeReminder completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"acces to §Reminder granded %i ",granted);
}];
NSPredicate *predicate = [store predicateForRemindersInCalendars:nil];

[store fetchRemindersMatchingPredicate:predicate completion:^(NSArray *reminders) {
    for (EKReminder *reminder in reminders) {
            NSLog(@"reminder %@",reminder);

        }
}];
