I have amended your patch fixing some of the spelling issues and
indentation. See the attached. Note that I used "time to live"
consistently instead of "time to life". The former is the right
abbreviation meaning, AFAIU
(https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/cdn/glossary/time-to-live-ttl/)

I also have a more general comment.

The patch only allows to the TTL globally for all the calendars.
However, it would make sense to specify TTL on per-file basis. WDYT?

Subject: [PATCH v2] lisp/ox-icalendar.el: Add customize option
 `org-icalendar-ttl'

* ox-icalendar.el: New option `org-icalendar-ttl' to add en entry
for the X-PUBLISHED-TTL option to ox-icalendar.  Default value is nil,
what means no such entry is exported.  If non nil the value must be
formated according to
https://icalendar.org/iCalendar-RFC-5545/3-8-2-5-duration.html.

+The option ~org-icalendar-ttl~ allows to advise a subscriber to the
