This bug is quite old and I think in need of urgency. There are apps that would like to use the calendar API like Alarm and Reminders but cannot because of this bug (me included :) ). Also, the documentation in the developer site needs to indicate that developers cannot freely use them as of the moment. The Alarm and AlarmModel have been listed in the components and there's no mention that the calendar policy is needed and that it is still in "reserved" status.

If calendars are going to be made generally available to untrusted appstore apps, EDS needs to be modified to use trust-store, like location-service does. Integrating with trust-store means that when an app tries to connect to the EDS over DBus, EDS will contact trust-store, the trust-store will prompt the user ("Foo wants to access your calendars. Is this ok? Yes|No"), optionally cache the result and return the result to EDS. In this manner the user is given a contextual prompt at the time of access by the app. Using caching this decision can be remembered the next time. If caching is used, there should be a method to change the decision in settings. Targeting to T-Series for now, since the trust-store is not in a reusable form yet.
