Calendar Syncing Errors on Apple devices

Mail Subscribing Errors

I do not see any recent posts about this so I thought I would ask to see if anyone has a solution.

I am not able to get the auto-synced calendars or custom synced calendar groups to sync on Apple devices. I have followed the instructions provided and the instructions for google and Microsoft work and the calendars will sync there, but the calendars will not sync on apple devices. Following the instructions, I get to step 2 and then get error messages. I have tried multiple times over the last 6 weeks on multiple devices, but keep getting error messages. I have included the messages below. In all cases it seems like a access problem to the church server, but as it is working for Google and Microsoft it is an Apple specific problem. Is there a way around this? Or updated instructions that will work?

MacBook Pro - macOS Ventura version 13.7.2

I don't think it's mentioned, but I know the old versions of the calendar had a 9 minute throttle. Once your account has synced, you can't get a ICS file for 9 minutes. So, for the browsers, you're either hitting the throttle, or something in your network is filtering the connection. I say "account" because generating a new URL wouldn't defeat it.

The link you posted worked fine for me in chrome. (Nothing displayed, but it downloaded an ICS file.) I also "munged" the link in your post - you don't need other people trying the link. This is a fully public forum.
