Answer 1

Swift 3

You can get Date based on your current timezone from UTC

extension Date {
    func currentTimeZoneDate() -> String {
        let dtf = DateFormatter()
        dtf.timeZone = TimeZone.current
        dtf.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"

        return dtf.string(from: self)
    }
}

Call like this:

Date().currentTimeZoneDate()
