NSInvalidArgumentException, reason: 'Invalid type in JSON write (__NSDate)'

Question

I\'m getting this exception when I try to JSON encode NSDate object.I believe NSDate is not compatible for JSON encoding. but I must encode the date.Any solutions?

Answer 1

Have you tried ?

updateDate = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:[[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]];

As Described Here : SDK not supporting NSDate objects

Follow these Steps :

1. Convert the Date in JSON Format :

 NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]autorelease];
 [formatter setDateFormat:@"Z"];
 NSString *updateDate = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"/Date(%.0f000%@)/", [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970],[formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]];

2. Embed In some array and POST the array.
