What makes NSCalendarsUsageDescription required?
You could try using nm
tool to look for EventKit specific symbols in your frameworks binaries, something like:
nm YourFramework.framework/YourFramework | grep EK # EK is a prefix for EventKit classes
Or one-liner (look for files without extension, also ignore CodeResources to reduce irrelevant output):
find YourApp/Frameworks ! -name '*CodeResources*' -type f ! -name "*.*" -exec nm -o -- {} + | grep EK
If there is such you will see something like:
0000000000003fdb t -[ClusterPrePermissions EKEquivalentEventType:]
U _OBJC_CLASS_$_EKEventStore
To learn more about nm
run man nm
in your terminal.
The nm
tool is useful when you want to see which symbols a given binary contains. There are plenty of options that you can give to nm
but most of the time it is enough to run it without any arguments to answer questions like: is symbol X present in a given binary?
Update you Info.plist file by adding permission base on your rejection mail or error log.

According to apples documentation:
NSCalendarsUsageDescription (String - iOS) This key lets you describe the reason your app accesses the user’s calendars. When the system prompts the user to allow access, this string is displayed as part of the alert.
it then goes on to explain how to implement it:
Important: To protect user privacy, an iOS app linked on or after iOS 10.0, and which accesses the user’s calendars, must statically declare the intent to do so. Include the NSCalendarsUsageDescription key in your app’s Info.plist file and provide a purpose string for this key. If your app attempts to access the user’s calendars without a corresponding purpose string, your app exits.
Basically just insert this into you info.plist
file
<key>NSCalendarsUsageDescription</key>
<string>purpose for using calendar</string>
