Answer 1

As @Travis Solution works but in some cases

var millisecondsSince1970:Int WILL CAUSE CRASH APPLICATION ,

with error

Double value cannot be converted to Int because the result would be greater than Int.max if it occurs Please update your answer with Int64

Here is Updated Answer

extension Date {
 var millisecondsSince1970:Int64 {
        return Int64((self.timeIntervalSince1970 * 1000.0).rounded()) 
        //RESOLVED CRASH HERE
    }

    init(milliseconds:Int) {
        self = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: TimeInterval(milliseconds / 1000))
    }
}

About Int definitions.

On 32-bit platforms, Int is the same size as Int32, and on 64-bit platforms, Int is the same size as Int64.

Generally, I encounter this problem in iPhone 5, which runs in 32-bit env. New devices run 64-bit env now. Their Int will be Int64.

Hope it is helpful to someone who also has same problem
