Hello all!
I have a weird problem: I am unable to sync calendar events created on my iPhone 6s to my iMac. It DOES work the other way--events created in the iMac Calendar show up on my iPhone. I have no issues with, for example, contacts or messages syncing in either direction.

I have tried turning iCloud off, then on on first the iPhone, then the iMac. Did not help. I have found nothing of value with google search, so maybe some of the clever people here can help.

iPhone 6s is running iOS 13.1.2. iMac (2017 model) is running Mojave 10.14.6

Thank you!
 
Don’t have an answer to your question, but I have a different issue myself.

All of my events are showing and syncing as expected. But I used custom colors for calendars on my Mac (running Catalina)...and those colors aren’t syncing to my phone or iPad. (iPad is on 13.1.2 and phone is on 13.2 beta). Before Catalina and iOS/iPadOS 13, the colors synced to my phone and iPad. I have waaaaay too many separate calendars, and Apple doesn’t have enough default colors, so while I was able to use custom colors and therefore have no repeat colors on my Mac...that’s not the case on my phone or iPad. Minor inconvenience, but I would still love to see it fixed!

Syncing between iCloud related apps is the big bug in 13. For me it’s Safari syncing, that‘s ok between my iPhone 11 Pro and Mac, but no go from iPhone 7 and iPad Pro. Reminders has been an intermittent problem, so far Calendars is behaving. this will vary between devices. Signing out of iCloud or toggling a feature off and then on will only work for that moment. Others have had problems with Notes. My guess is everyone has the issue but it manifests differently on different devices and different apps, but all iCloud related.

I have always had this problem with my phone vs Mac. I just assumed that iOS had a limited pallet of colors for calendars and couldn't adjust to my color tweaks. Adding to the confusion was my wife used similar colors for different aspects of her calendar and, well, we just forged through it.

Not sure what happened, but the colors synced! I have a total of 11 calendars, and they are each showing their custom colors that I set on my Mac!
