Getting date from [NSDate date] off by a few hours

Question

I am using

NSDate *date = [NSDate date];

for getting the date, but the date I get is off by 2 hours.

Answer 1

You can get your date corrected like this:

NSDate * dateGMT = [NSDate date];
NSTimeInterval secondsFromGMT = [[NSTimeZone localTimeZone] secondsFromGMT];
NSDate * correctDate = [dateGMT dateByAddingTimeInterval:secondsFromGMT];
