Quick question.
I have a string date: example var dateString = "17-02-2015"
I use:
var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"
var newDate = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateString)
And I get the output: 2015-01-16 23:02:00 +0000
Why am I missing a day? Is it because of the time zone? (I am at +1, and in the date the timezone is 0?).
I also tryed setting the time zone:
dateFormatter.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone.systemTimeZone()
But no success.
What am I missing?
Thats the UTC time and it is correct considering the fact that your LocalTime is 1+
var dateString = "17-02-2015"
var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"
var newDate = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateString)!
println(newDate.descriptionWithLocale(NSLocale.currentLocale())!)

I'm getting this UTC time in string format from the server.."2019-12-18T10:58:40Z"
Now I want to convert it into local time. For that I referred this link. But it's not working..
What I wanted to achieve was to convert UTC time to local time and set a timer based on that time.
This is what I've tried..
var utcTime = "\(json["expirationDate"]!)"
self.dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"
let date = self.dateFormatter.date(from: utcTime)
let utcDate = date?.toGlobalTime()
let localDate = utcDate?.toLocalTime()
But I'm getting nil values for the dates..
You don't have milliseconds in your UTC date string example. Your date format should be
self.dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"
you have to change this format from
"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'" to "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"**you have to
let utcTime = "2019-12-18T10:58:40Z"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter.init()
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "UTC")!
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: utcTime)
print(date)
I have a function to convert string to date format. This function works as expected on iOS 12 but on iOS 13. I get this error:
"Thread 1: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value"
Here is my code:
func ConvertDateAndTimeFormat2() {
let timeDate = "2019-09-24 15:00:00 +0000"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss +zzzz"
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT+3:00")
var dateObj:Date!
dateObj = dateFormatter.date(from: timeDate)
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEEE, MMM d, yyyy"
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT+3:00")
let timeFormatter = DateFormatter()
timeFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss +zzzz"
timeFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT+3:00")
var timeObj:Date!
timeObj = timeFormatter.date(from: timeDate)
timeFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
timeFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT+3:00")
let timef = "\(timeFormatter.string(from: timeObj!))"
let Date = "\(dateFormatter.string(from: dateObj!))"
}
Please change your dateformat and use "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z" and try.
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"

If you are trying to convert string time which in 24 hours format (Ex 15:25:00 / HH:mm:ss) then enable your device 24-Hour Time option. It might solve the issue in IOS 13.3
You may find the option here
Settings -> General -> Date & Time
There are many issues with your code. There is no reason to create two Date objects from one string. Just parse the original string once. Then you can create your date string and time string with the desired formats from that one date.
You should also use the special locale of en_US_POSIX when parsing fixed format date strings. There is also no need to set a timezone when parsing the original date string. The string provides its own timezone. The +0000 means it is UTC time.
You may not want to provide a timezone when converting the date to your final strings either. Most likely you want strings in the user's locale timezone, not some hardcoded timezone.
Here's your code cleaned up a lot:
func convertDateAndTimeFormat2() {
let timeDate = "2019-09-24 15:00:00 +0000"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
if let dateObj = dateFormatter.date(from: timeDate) {
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "EEEE, MMM d, yyyy"
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT+3:00") // Probably not needed
let timeFormatter = DateFormatter()
timeFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
timeFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT+3:00") // Probably not needed
let timef = timeFormatter.string(from: dateObj)
let datef = dateFormatter.string(from: dateObj)
print("Date: \(datef), time: \(timef)")
}
}
convertDateAndTimeFormat2()
Output:
Date: Tuesday, Sep 24, 2019, time: 18:00
I've searched and searched, but most of the time posts talk about creating a localized string from a Date(). I need a date object to set a Timer to fire at the correct time.
I realize I might be missing something... This is the best I have so far:
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yy"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale.current
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
let todayDate = dateFormatter.date(from: "05/21/18")!
print(todayDate)
Which outputs:
2018-05-21 07:00:00 +0000
> Question: Why is there the +0000 if I set the dateFormatter variable timeZone to .current?
+ Update 01:
Following #MadProgrammer's comments:
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss z"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale.current
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
let dateString = dateFormatter.string(from: Date())
let todayDate = dateFormatter.date(from: dateString)!
print(dateString)
print(todayDate)
Which Outputs, first one being correct:
05/21/18 19:29:19 PDT
2018-05-22 02:29:19 +0000
> Question: Why would creating a date from the dateFormatter.string(...) date object be so different?
Thank you in advance!

I'm trying to convert a Date and Time String to NSDate with Swift, But the problem is The time is not converting perfectly, Even i set my Timezone correctly, Here's my code:
var dateStr = "2015-10-16 08:00 AM"
var dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm a"
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(forSecondsFromGMT: 28800)
var date = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateStr)
print(date!)
And it prints out like this: 2015-10-16 00:00:00 +0000 What do you think seems to be the problem? Thanks!
Nothing wrong here. You should convert date to String before print it.
let dateStr = "2015-10-16 08:00 AM"
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm a"
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(forSecondsFromGMT: 28800)
let date = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateStr)
print(dateFormatter.stringFromDate(date!))
or as in Swift 3
let dateStr = "2015-10-16 08:00 AM"
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm a"
dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(secondsFromGMT: 28800)
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: dateString)
print(dateFormatter.string(from: date))
The same result: 2015-10-16 08:00 AM
I have this Optional(2015-07-27 19:29:50 +0000) as a string? and I want to convert it to a date (NSDate) but I can't figure it out I've been searching a lot for solutions but I am pretty new to coding so if anyone could help I would appreciate it.
This is what I am using to convert the string to a date currently.
note: dateString is Optional(2015-07-27 19:29:50 +0000)
dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
println(dateFormatter)
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let s = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateString)
I always get a nil value
If you are getting nil from NSDateFormatter, you likely specified incorrect date format. Try this:
let strTime = "2015-07-27 19:29:50 +0000"
let formatter = NSDateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"
formatter.dateFromString(strTime) // Returns "Jul 27, 2015, 12:29 PM" PST
You will want to use a NSDateFormatter and call dateFromString: on it to get the date from the string. See Apple's NSDateFormatter documentation for a great explanation of doing what you want.
In swift 3.0:
let strTime = "2015-07-27 19:29:50 +0000"
let formatter = NSDateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z"
formatter.date(from: strTime)
dateString is already date and need to convert to string. Below code is working fine
dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
println(dateFormatter)
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let s = dateFormatter.string(from: dateString)
