  1. I've installed calendar via snap (Ubuntu Software) and it didn't work, so I've removed it and installed using apt and it works (there is gnome-calendar 3.36.1-1 in apt repo).

    Use the following commands in terminal:

    sudo snap remove gnome-calendar
sudo apt-get install gnome-calendar

  3. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the gnome calendar from the terminal and it still did not sync. I had to remove my Google account completely in settings and add it again. When I brought up Calendar it synced again.
