Cronofy ics file smart invite not working

Hi I am using cronofy smart invites to create ics calendar file for scheduling meetings in my java applications but when I cancel the meeting the ics file is not supported by outlook its working fine for google and other clients.

the cancel ics file content is :


Event iCalendar in cancel :-
 "BEGIN:
VCALENDAR

PRODID:-//Cronofy//Cronofy0.1//EN
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN

END:VEVENT

Event iCalender in create :- 
"BEGIN:

ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;X-NUM -GUESTS=0;RSVP=TRUE:mailto:<myEmailId>
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR"

I have added header as

request.setHeader("Content-Class", "urn:content-  classes:calendarmessage");
request.setHeader("Content-ID", "calendar_message");

The ICS content looks valid, so it could be the format of the email it's attached to.

The iMIP best practices describe the best structure for iCalendar attachments to ensure they can be parsed by most email clients. Using that structure should help Outlook parse the email and attached ICS.

Edit: It's also worth looking at the Cronofy documentation about sending invites for some code examples, or contacting Cronofy support directly.
