Everything works except for adding events on the iPhone. That action creates a new iCal calendar, which basically ruins the whole two-way thing. It's a bummer. I'm trying to figure out a workaround, but please do let me know if you come across anything. <a href="http://daringfireball.net/2008/08/iphone_ical_caldav" rel="nofollow">This article</a> as a bit more detail. It seems that something like Busy Sync is required to get this working now. I see some <a href="http://www.zimbra.com/forums/isync-caldav/22351-adding-changing-appointments-iphone-caldav-connector.html" rel="nofollow">rumors</a> that this is just a bug, so perhaps it'll be worked out at some point. The more I dig, it appears we're <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5029993/google-calendar-now-supports-caldav-syncs-natively-with-ical-but-not-iphone" rel="nofollow">not the only ones</a> that expected this to work.

Whenever I add an event in my iPhone, it automatically puts it into a 'local' calendar in iCal rather than my caldav'd google calendar. This prevents new events entered in the iPhone ever synch'ing with Google Calendar. Am I the only one? Hmmm.

Am I the only one?

I'm trying to see if there's a way to get that, but without it the dream of two-way syncing is dead :( @Jonathan, I’ve got everything working aside from adding events on the iPhone Calendar and getting them back into Google Calendar.

You have to use something like Spanning Sync, Busy Sync, or the free Calgoo. I wished real hard this were true, but CalDAV calendars won’t sync from iCal to the iPhone.
