ICS Wrong Time Zone Appearing In Google Calendar


I am having a weird issue with ics calenders. I am creating a calendar with the following information:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:www.bingewave.com
X-WR-TIMEZONE:America/New_york
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:America/New_york
X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_york
END:VTIMEZONE
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:61bb267c4074e
DTSTART;TZID=America/New_york:20211216T180000
SEQUENCE:0
TRANSP:OPAQUE
DTEND;TZID=America/New_york:20211216T210000

The time zone set to America/New_york and the time set to 180000, which is 6:00 PM. But I am getting this in my Google Calender:

Am I doing something wrong?


Solution

  • The answer is case sensitivity. New_york is not recognized, while New_York with a capital Y works. Apparently, Google Calendar is strict on upper and lowercase.
