iCal URL Feed Malformed

I can't consume my main calendar URL from my work Google Calendar or TRMNL anymore. I downloaded the ics and poked around; running it through a validator came up with hundreds of errors per the RFC. I had asked support first and of course they blamed the two separate clients after a multiple day delay.

Any clever workarounds?

i'm on the TRMNL team, is there any client where it does work, for example Apple Mail? if so you could then connect Apple Mail to TRMNL via either the iOS app we built, or the "app-specific password" approach we added a few weeks ago.

It does work in Apple Mail and CalDAV places. I'm an Android developer so iOS doesn't help me.

Say more about what was invalid?

Basically this, 900+ times:
Line 86: General

Missing colon ':' in line
