Answer 1

Swift 5 Simple and more precise answer.

Start time: 00:00:00

End time: 23:59:59.5

let date = Date() // current date or replace with a specific date
let calendar = Calendar.current
let startTime = calendar.startOfDay(for: date)
let endTime = calendar.date(bySettingHour: 23, minute: 59, second: 59, of: date)

Extra

let yesterday = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -1, to: noon)!
let tomorrow = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: noon)!
let specificDate = Date("2020-01-01")

extension Date {
    init(_ dateString:String) {
        let dateStringFormatter = DateFormatter()
        dateStringFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
        dateStringFormatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US_POSIX") as Locale
        let date = dateStringFormatter.date(from: dateString)!
        self.init(timeInterval:0, since:date)
    }
}
