Calendar crashes when accepting new appointment with iOS4 on 3GS

Question

I have an Exchange account setup with a provider to sync my mail and calendar. I get a meeting invitation which shows a badge on the calendar app icon. I can open the calendar app, and click on the invitations icon on the bottom right. I can see the invitation. But since the iOS4 upgrade, when I touch the actual appointment to view it and accept it, the calendar app crashes. I went into the web access view of that calendar and accepted the appointment. Normally that would make the invitation on the phone go away, but in this case it is stuck. Any ideas or is this a bug?

Answer 1

So I have a partial work around for this. From the service provider side, I turned off the appointment notifications. Then I went into the phone settings and turned off calendar sync which removed the entries from my calendar and it no longer crashes. When I turned calendar sync back on in the phone, my appointments came back.
This is not a fix because now I don't get appointment notifications that I can accept. Which means I have no idea if someone sends me a meeting request until I first check in my regular web or mail client (in this case GroupWise 8). Once I accept the appointment in a regular mail client, the calendar entry will sync to my phone.
Apple, this is a bug that needs to be fixed soon. My iphone is my primary source of mail and appointments. Daily I get appointments for meetings and calls that are only 2-3 hours away. I will be unable to attend those if I don't know about them.
