Answer 1

i am using this and it worked for me in iOS 8.4

-(NSString *) extractDayFromDate {
     NSCalendar* calender = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
     NSDateComponents* component = [calender components:NSCalendarUnitWeekday fromDate:[NSDate date]];
     return [[calender weekdaySymbols] objectAtIndex:([component weekday]-1)]; 
}
