Creating NSDate from NSDateComponents off by one day

Question

I\'m trying to set a particular date for a unit test:

NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]
                         initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianC         


        

Answer 1

Try

NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]
                         initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [[[NSDateComponents alloc] init] autorelease];
[components setCalendar:calendar];
[components setYear:2011];
[components setMonth:5];
[components setDay:12];
[components setHour:1];
[components setMinute:0];
[components setSecond:0];
[components setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]];
NSDate *date = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];

or maybe you want

 [components setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"GMT"]];
