I wanted to test the workflow of one customer getting the booking confirmation and manually adding the event ics in their calendar. I only tested with google calendar, and only through the .ics file so no idea about other platforms,
but the settings in that file make the event/appointment imported in google calendar to be set to PUBLIC. This is quite bad, it means it overrides any setting set up by your calendar settings, and makes the event (and all details) visible to anyone having a link to your calendar.
This is the culprit: "CLASS:PUBLIC"
This property should not exist in any .ics being sent out by amelia!
I know this is not something you can repair, but needs to be addressed by the developers. But this is not a feature either, but a (serious) breach of privacy for the clients booking services!
Just wanted to bring this to your attention so it is handled in a timely fashion
