Why do you not have Ical capability for Square Appts?

I have been using Acuity Scheduling for years now and love that it syncs with my iPhone calendar - both ways.  I know that Square owns Acuity Scheduling, so my question is why hasn't that technology been shared over to Square Appointments?  I am going to have to upgrade to the next level and was considering moving to square appointments, but this is a game changer if I can't sync ical in Square like I do Acuity.

Hey there @Tcallen.. So it's rare that a 'why don't you have....' question gets an answer here.  Also, Square/Block does NOT own Acuity -- SquareSpace does, which is a Square competitor.  That being said....

 

There is a pretty good and easy workaround that allows you to have your Square appointment calendar on your iPhone.  Just create a free Google email account.  Then create a calendar there that you can attach to your Square appointments calendar.  Finally, go into your I-device calendar and add that Google calendar to your phone.  Your Square Appointments will now be synced with your iPhone/iPad/Mac.

@Tcallen I should have also mentioned that Acuity has a third-party app that integrates with Square.  You can find more about there here.
