Can I change the time zone in Fabric? Fabric got the UTC, but we located in other time zone. So when we checked the data in Fabric, we would be confused by the time.
UTC time zone
Ah, currently I think there is not a way to change the timezone cause all the way to change timezone are based on the UTC.

I'm currently developing an app in swift and I was wondering if there is a way to run a piece of code every number of days locally on the users phone? An example of this is that i would run a piece of code every 5 days.
There is no way to perform tasks in the background permanently at the interval of time you are requesting. There is a time limit of 10 or 15 minutes for background tasks to complete.
Is it something special you want to do in the background? For tasks that require more execution time to implement, you must request specific permissions to run them in the background without their being suspended.
You can read more about background execution here.
If you want to run something when the phone is active you can do that by checking the applicationDidBecomeActivefunction in your AppDelegate.
In iOS, you don't have control over when an app is opened, and your app cannot arbitrarily load itself to run code (unless a push notification is involved).
That being said, you can use one of the methods in AppDelegate to check if 5 or more days have passed since the date the code was last run (which you can store in UserDefaults), and run if if it has.
I am sure there more efficient ways of doing this since I am just a beginner but I might as well try to help. Could you create an NSTimer that fires every x amount of days. The NSTimeInterval would be 60 (seconds) * 60 (minutes) * 24 (hours) * (number of days you desire). And then the Selector would be "(whatever your function's name is)". Finally, whatever you want to happen every x days would be what you put inside the function that is the Selector in the NSTimer that would most likely go in your override func viewDidLoad() {} I hope this helps you and future viewers.

Is there any way to get the tamper-proof date and time on iPhone?
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
So, I'm developing an app that is based on the time, but with NSDate an user can easily hack the application by changing system time of the device. So I might want to use a better method for retrieving time.
How can I do this? Is there an easy way to retrieve time from internet?
Checkout this Google Library: https://github.com/jbenet/ios-ntp
After the library is set up you can use it with the following line:
[NSDate networkDate];

Can anyone please help me?
Store the time that the user got the coin in the user defaults.
Every time the application enter from the background check if the timeToGetAnotherCoin has passed.

What is the time difference between Pacific region and Atlantic region?
I found answer in http://wiki.answers.com site, and It says 3 hour means AST is 3 hour behind from PST.
Update:
I want the correct off set between EST (Eastern time zone) and AST (Atlantic time zone).
I just want to confirm it.
Thanks..
If you specifically mean the timezones AST and PST (rather than the broader definition of "Atlantic Region" and "Pacific region", then:
AST is currently UTC - 4 hours.
PST is currently UTC - 8 hours.
So the time difference is currently 4 hours (i.e. AST is four hours ahead of PST).
AST is 1 hour ahead of EST.
