No. Just call [calendar selectDate:] for each date.

Here's a workaround I created for this limitation. In your view controller, create three variables and set the delegate:

1. var startDate: Date?
2. var endDate: Date?
3. selectedDateArray: [Date] = [] // empty array
4. calendarView.delegate = self
5. Implement the FSCalendarDelegate methods for didSelect and didDeselect.

Here's the code:

  var selectedDateArray: [Date] = [] {
    didSet {
      // sort the array
      selectedDateArray = calendarView.selectedDates.sorted()
      
      switch selectedDateArray.count {
      case 0:
        startDate = nil
        endDate = nil
      case 1:
        startDate = selectedDateArray.first
        endDate = nil
      case _ where selectedDateArray.count > 1:
        startDate = selectedDateArray.first
        endDate = selectedDateArray.last
        
        var nextDay = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: startDate!)
        while nextDay!.startOfDay <= endDate! {
          calendarView.select(nextDay)
          nextDay = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: nextDay!)
          
        }
      default:
        return
      }
    }
  }
  
  var startDate: Date? {
    didSet {
      startDate = startDate?.startOfDay
    }
  }
  
  var endDate: Date? {
    didSet {
      endDate = endDate?.endOfDay
    }
  }

extension ViewController: FSCalendarDelegate {
  func calendar(_ calendar: FSCalendar, didSelect date: Date, at monthPosition: FSCalendarMonthPosition) {
    if date.isAfterDate(Date().endOfDay!) {
      calendar.deselect(date)
    } else {
      selectedDateArray.append(date)
    }
  }
  
  func calendar(_ calendar: FSCalendar, didDeselect date: Date, at monthPosition: FSCalendarMonthPosition) {
    if calendar.selectedDates.count > 2 {
      let datesToDeselect: [Date] = calendar.selectedDates.filter{ $0 > date }
      datesToDeselect.forEach{ calendar.deselect($0) }
      calendar.select(date) // adds back the end date that was just deselected so it matches selectedDateArray
    }
    selectedDateArray = selectedDateArray.filter{ $0 < date }
    selectedDateArray.forEach{calendarView.select($0)}
  }
}

Here are the Date extension methods I used:

extension Date {
  
  func isSameDate(_ comparisonDate: Date) -> Bool {
    let order = Calendar.current.compare(self, to: comparisonDate, toGranularity: .day)
    return order == .orderedSame
  }
  
  func isBeforeDate(_ comparisonDate: Date) -> Bool {
    let order = Calendar.current.compare(self, to: comparisonDate, toGranularity: .day)
    
    return order == .orderedAscending
  }
  
  func isAfterDate(_ comparisonDate: Date) -> Bool {
    let order = Calendar.current.compare(self, to: comparisonDate, toGranularity: .day)
    return order == .orderedDescending
  }
  
  var startOfDay: Date {
    return Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: self)
  }
  
  var endOfDay: Date? {
    var components = DateComponents()
    components.day = 1
    components.second = -1
    return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: components, to: startOfDay)
  }
}

Awesome. Thanks.
