Manually Sync Contacts & Calendar (iOS apps) in CardDAV/CalDAV

This guide explains how to connect the mobile apps Contacts and Calendar iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) with the contacts & calendars hosted by Infomaniak.

 

Preamble

  • Instead of the manual configuration below, it is recommended to use the configuration profiles .mobileconfig offered by Apple.
  • Infomaniak contacts & calendars are linked to your Infomaniak account; when you log in to ksuite.infomaniak.com/contacts or /calendar you probably have to perform double validation (2FA) when logging in.
    • In this case, an application password is required to establish synchronization between your device and Infomaniak tools.
    • But don't worry, creating such a password is offered to you by following the configuration assistant.
  • The various services offered by Infomaniak are all compatible with the corresponding standard protocols (CalDAV/CardDAV for contacts & calendars for example), consequently if you encounter a problem with third-party software, contact its publisher or a Partner and consult the support policy as well as article 11.9 of the Infomaniak TOS.
