I've just tried to import an ics file and Evolution says it can't do
it.

To be precise the error message is

        Cannot receive calendar objects: Invalid object

Is this a situation with Evolution or a fault with the file?

The contents of the file is

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
METHOD:PUBLISH()
PRODID:-//Qnomy Inc.//Q-Flow//EN
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20221215T144000

Evolution 3.44.4 (3.44.4-2.fc36) under KDE on Fedora 36.


If you test your iCalendar file against the RFC 5545 (e.g. using
https://icalendar.org/validator.html ) you'll see the following errors:


*    Missing required VERSION property near line # 1Reference: RFC 5545
3.6. Calendar Components
*    Missing DTSTAMP property near line # 4Reference: RFC 5545 3.6.1.
Event Component
*    Missing UID property near line # 4Reference: RFC 5545 3.6.1. Event
Component

As the "VERSION" property is mandatory, I think this is the main reason
for your Problem.

Rgds, Matthias
