Updated iOS Plugin to support IOS 17

[MrBasque]

Support for iOS 17 which has a different implementation for calendar access levels
(Read Apple technotes for details)

This version actually awaits the dialog before it returns

Do not forget to add these entries to your Info.plist:

	<key>NSCalendarsFullAccessUsageDescription</key>
	<string>Read/Write appointments in device calendar</string>

I've tried this code but it doesn't work properly, still getting the same error.

I made it work with Digistorm fork:

Thanks for leaving your feedback, good to know you found a proper solution that actually works :-). Tbh I've never experienced an error myself, it just did not open the calendar and/or the permissions dialog on iOS17+ and with the new code it does. I will have a look at the digistorm code, thanks.

Sorry. I made another attempt today and it works. Maybe yesterday I used a dirty project.
I'll try again tomorrow to be sure.

Can I eventually upload your code on another package on NPM (i.e. cordova-plugin-calendar-ios17fix) if @EddyVerbruggen don't accept this one?

Sure, I don't see why not. Thanks again, appreciate your heads up!

I confirm that it works.
I uploaded the PR on https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-calendar-ios-fix

I thank you for your fix...

I've tried cordova-plugin-calendar-ios-fix, but I'm still getting the same error message as in the stock version: "No default calendar found. Is access to the Calendar blocked for this app?" I've added the NSCalendarsFullAccessUsageDescription stuff, but it seems to make no difference. (This is with iOS 17.5.)

Is there anything further one has to do these days on iOS than just call window.plugins.calendar.createEventInteractively()?

Probably not related to this pull-request or even plugin. Do you have a default calendar specified on your IOS device?:

Go to Settings > Calendar > Default Calendar. Select the calendar you want to use as your default calendar.

Ah, yes, you're right -- the problem was that the iPhone simulator doesn't have a calendar app at all installed. Everything works fine on an actual iPhone. Thanks for the help!
