There are several tools named ical2org - different languages, implementations, and/or forks. I used to use one of them when I was on OS X and it worked well for me.

I'm not on OS X anymore but use something called "ical2orgpy" that downloads ICS files from Google and Outlook (and could from iCloud I think?) and converts them to read-only Org buffers. The top line is

-*- eval: (eval (progn (auto-revert-mode 1) (read-only-mode 1))); -*-

So they are read-only and Emacs updates them when the buffer gets changed on disk w/o any questions.

  -k.
