ICS sync is a compatibility workaround from 1998. Google Calendar works natively on Android without any third party apps. The fact that syncing an iCal file requires a Fossify workaround on Android is a problem Apple created on purpose to lock users into their ecosystem.
Oh no are you one of the proprietary Android guys? I dont use Google apps, Google Calendar might well support ICS links natively but I dont use that malware XD
But yes it is odd that ICS is read only. CalDAV is better.

There's another app for this, https://f-droid.org/en/packages/at.bitfire.icsdroid/

That is the same app

No, it is definitely not the same app. DAVx5 is for CalDAV, ICSx5 is for webcal, which is what you have.

Yes I mean it was already suggested. Sorry, cross-posts dont really work on lemmy at all

You add calendars via a calendar app, not Davx5

No, the calendar app has no sync itself. I use ICSx5 now and add that import from the app
