It's working fine for me now -- I just tried it again, and it synced an event that I added just a couple of days ago.

Oh, my fault. You're right. Google Sync is working correctly now. I had outdated information.

Tom, you of all people should be skeptical about written documentation. ;)

Unless something has changed, it is and it isn't. The old URLs work, but the new URLs with a longer key don't work. Has that been fixed?

My sync worked fine with a 32-character key (which is the longer key). So that's not a problem (at least for me).

I'm joining this discussion trying to figure out how to sync. So I copied the URL and put it in my google calendar. I then went into my ical on my iphone and everything syched just fine. I then later went back to lds.org calendar and added an event to see if it would automatically synch to my phone. It has been over 5 hours and it has not synched to my ical on my phone or to my google calendar on my computer. I resynched the lds tools app and the event showed there as well as on the web site but why can I not see the event I created on lds.org on my phone? So to be clear I created the event in lds.org from my computer. I did not create the event on my phone.

Please note that this sync is a "pull" not a "push". That is, it's up to Google to decide how often it syncs. There's no way for the church to "push" it to Google.

In my experience, Google syncs about once a day. If there's a setting to change that, I've not found it.

Got it. That makes sense. Thank you very much. I will check it tomorrow and see if it worked.
