How to customise a EKEventEditViewController?

Question

I am using the EKEventEditViewController to add events to the calendar, however I need to customise the table view, such as background colour and cell properties.

I have tried looping through its subviews like so with no luck.

Failed code:

EKEventEditViewController *eventVc = [[EKEventEditViewController alloc] init];
    eventVc.event = event;
    eventVc.delegate = self;
    eventVc.eventStore = eventStore;
    eventVc.editViewDelegate = self;

    for (UITableView *view in [eventVc.view subviews]) {
        [view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
    }

    [self presentModalViewController:eventVc animated:YES];

you can use UINavigationController delegate method to customize EKEventEditViewController.

- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated {
    if ([viewController isKindOfClass:[UITableViewController class]]) {

        UITableView *tblView=((UITableViewController*)viewController).tableView;

        [tblView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
        [tblView setBackgroundView:nil];
    }
}

There hasn't been a simple solution to this, but I ended up creating a custom view controller from which I handled all the event data manually.
