When setting up a repeating event in Apple’s Calendar application, there is a lot of flexibility. For example, I can specify that an event repeats every month on the 5th Saturday. Of course, not every month has a fifth saturday, so for that month there is no event.
What I am wondering is if there is direct api support for doing these date calculations…can I supply a set of parameters to a function and ask what the next 5th saturday of the month is? I can, of course, implement a naive algorithm which simply iterates through each day of the month, checks to see if it is the 5th Saturday encountered and return that date, but I am hoping I would not need to write something so tedious and prone to error. If there is a 3rd party library that would provide such support, I would be interested in learning about it as well.
