is it possible to change the default alarm timings in icalendar using eventkit?

I used the following code to display a calendar using EVENTKIT

    - (BOOL)createEvent:(NSString *)title 
                 at:(NSString *)location 
           starting:(NSDate *)startDate 
             ending:(NSDate *)endDate 
           withBody:(NSString *)body 

{

    eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];

    EKEvent *event  = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore];
    event.title     = title;
    event.location  = location;
    event.startDate = startDate;
    event.endDate   = endDate;
    event.notes     = body;

    [event setCalendar:[eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];

    EKEventEditViewController *eventViewController = [[EKEventEditViewController alloc] init];
    eventViewController.event = event;
    eventViewController.eventStore = eventStore;
    //eventViewController.editViewDelegate = self;

    [self presentModalViewController:eventViewController animated:YES];

    return TRUE;
}

When i call this above function , an eventkit view controller is displayed. When i click the the alert button in that, i will get the default alert timing as like below

Event Alert

I want the event alert timing in whatever way i wish like 1 day before,2 days before upto 30 days before.

Can anyone please tell me how to do this Many Thanks in advance

You'll want to create an EKAlarm, and add that alarm to your event. For instance, for an alarm that occurs 15 min before:

    EKAlarm *alarm = [EKAlarm alarmWithRelativeOffset:-900]; // 15 min alarm
    [event addAlarm:alarm];
