Is there an objective-c/iPhone version of currentTimeMillis() from Java?

Question

I need to time some events in the app I\'m working on. In Java i used to be able to call currentTimeMillis() but there doesnt seem to be a version in Objective-c. Is there a way

Answer 1

The correct answer is [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]; this will give you current timestamp in milliseconds.

The answer given by @Noah Witherspoon returns current date but the year is not the current matching year.
