Access calendars in Playground

import EventKit

var store = EKEventStore()

store.requestAccessToEntityType(EKEntityTypeEvent) {
    (success: Bool, error: NSError!) in
    println("Got permission = \(success); error = \(error)")
}

I have the above code in a Playground and the response is...

Got permission = false; error = nil

How can I give permission to Playground?

You can do this now. I tried it in Xcode 8.3.2 on macOS in a playground. The code needs to be updated like so:

import EventKit

var store = EKEventStore()

store.requestAccess(to: .event, completion: {
    (success, error) -> Void in
    print("Got permission = \(success); error = \(error)")
})

I get a request for permission to access the calendar. The output for me is:

Got permission = true; error = nil

Playgrounds don't support entitlements, which are required to access calendars/reminders.

It's a real shame, as this would be a perfect way to play around with how you would like to use an API.
