Fix: Exclude ctz Parameter for All-Day Events to Resolve Google Calendar Android Issue

This PR addresses an issue with the generate method in the Google calendar link generator, specifically for all-day events on Android devices. When the ctz (timezone) parameter is included for all-day events, Android devices encounter problems interpreting the event duration correctly, leading to inaccurate calendar entries.

Changes:

  • Updated the generate method to conditionally exclude the ctz parameter if the event is an all-day event.
  • This ensures that all-day events function as expected across platforms, especially on Android, by omitting the timezone parameter.

Impact:

This fix improves compatibility and accuracy for all-day events on Android, resolving an existing issue where Android misinterprets all-day events when the ctz parameter is included.

References:

  • Fixes issue with all-day event compatibility on Android when ctz is passed in the URL.
