Get the time and date of selected time zone?

Question

I tried below snippet I\'m getting current date and time of system instead of the selected time zone code.

NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
NSCalendar *gregorian         


        

Answer 1

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z"];

Remove the trailing 'z' character from the format string if you don't want to display the time zone.

EDIT

On the other hand, if you just want to display the timezone name, just make the 'z' uppercase.

EDIT

Lowercase 'z' works fine for all the other timezones, but unfortunately GMT is a special case. So the easiest thing to do is to just omit the 'z' and append " GMT" to the formatted date.
