For iPhone OS 4.0 “dateFromString” method of NSDateFormatter returns nil

Question

I am using following code & its working perfectly fine in iPhone OS 3.2

+(NSDate *)NSDateFromString:(NSString *)dateString
{

 NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter         


        

Answer 1

[NSDateFormatter dateFormatFromTemplate:options:locale:] might work better

NSString *format = [NSDateFormatter
                   dateFormatFromTemplate:@"Mdjm"
                                  options:0
                                   locale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];

// "M/d h:mm a" // US English format returned for US locale

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:format];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
