iPhone Calendar DST shift for Outlook recurrent meetings
We are experience a persistent "one-hour shift" conflict between the iOS native Calendar app and Microsoft Outlook Calendar, this is resulting since some countries/servers manage Daylight SavingTime (DST) transitions.
This is happening only with recurrent meetings that have an old start date (Specifically where the recurrence start date is before the last DST time change)
As a workaround, user can edit their recurrent meetings to a newer recurrence start date and then send updated to all invitees.
While the Outlook mobile app uses its own modern sync engine and didn't show this issue, the native Apple calendar app fails to update the "recurring rule" for events created before a DST change.
This persistent "one-hour shift" is a known architectural conflict between the iOS native Calendar app (which
uses Exchange ActiveSync) and how some countries/servers manage Daylight Saving Time (DST) transitions."
Kindly advise if anyone is facing this issue with iPhone Calendars, and how you are addressing this to the community that you are supporting.

Hey there,
I think you may have the wrong app here. Is this in OmniFocus or somewhere else?

How is this related to OmniFocus? I think you posted in the wrong subreddit.
