Why are there no times in any of my GDataEntryCalendarEvent? - objective-c

Question

I am using a GDataServiceGoogleCalendar to anonymously fetch a GDataFeedCalendarEvent from a public url. But I am absolutely unable to retrieve times from any of the resulting GDataEntryCalendarEvent objects. I can read the title, so I believe the API works, but somehow the times arrays are lost somewhere.
The service is instantiated as follows:
- (GDataServiceGoogleCalendar *)calendarService {
static GDataServiceGoogleCalendar* service = nil;
if (!service) {
service = [[GDataServiceGoogleCalendar alloc] init];
[service setShouldCacheResponseData:YES];
[service setServiceShouldFollowNextLinks:YES];
[service setIsServiceRetryEnabled:YES];
}
return service;
}
This is the code where the data is retrieved:
for (GDataEntryCalendarEvent *event in eventEntries) {
NSString *title = [[event title] stringValue];
GDataDateTime *startTime = nil;
GDataDateTime *endTime = nil;
NSArray *times = [event times];
GDataWhen *when = nil;
if ([times count] > 0) {
when = [times objectAtIndex:0];
startTime = [when startTime];
endTime = [when endTime];
}
}
What is wrong with my code or the way I connect? The sample app retrieves the dates successfully.

I am sorry but I can not answer what is wrong with your code. I had problems with the date of the events, and that was my solution that works great for me:
Hope it will help you:
NSArray *events = [feed entries];
[events enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
GDataEntryEvent *entry = [events objectAtIndex:idx];
for (NSUInteger i=0; i<[[entry times] count]; i++) {
NSDate * startDate = [[[[entry times] objectAtIndex:i] startTime] date];
NSDate * endDate = [[[[entry times] objectAtIndex:i] endTime] date];
}
}];
There might be a better way but this works.

The Google API requires the use of an actual identified user even to access the public data.
So no access to most API call s is granted until an authenticated user account is being used.
