Description
Steps to reproduce
- in the calendar app click on "New calendar"
- then click on "New subscription from link (read only)
- paste this one : https://collectifpinceoreilles.com/Feeds/Dates_calendrier.ics
Note : The link above passed the icalendar.org validator with 0 errors : https://icalendar.org/validator.html?url=https://collectifpinceoreilles.com/Feeds/Dates_calendrier.ics
Expected behavior
A new calendar should appear with all the appointments listed in the .ics file
Actual behaviour
You should see an error on the top-right corner saying "An error occurred, unable to create the calendar."
In the admin / logging page I have this message : "InvalidDataException The supplied iCalendar datetime value is incorrect: 20240911T203000Z"
A new calendar is created but it is empty and never show anything, even after a week waiting to update the .ics feed.
