Get current iPhone device timezone date and time from UTC-5 timezone date and time iPhone app?

Question

In my iPhone application i am very struggling to convert the webservice response time to current device time. The webservice time in UTC-5 timezone. The app is

Answer 1

NSDate* currentDate = [NSDate date];

NSTimeZone* CurrentTimeZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"];
NSTimeZone* SystemTimeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];

NSInteger currentGMTOffset = [CurrentTimeZone secondsFromGMTForDate:currentDate];
NSInteger SystemGMTOffset = [SystemTimeZone secondsFromGMTForDate:currentDate];
NSTimeInterval interval = SystemGMTOffset - currentGMTOffset;

NSDate* TodayDate = [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:interval sinceDate:currentDate];
NSLog(@"Current time zone Today Date : %@", TodayDate);

Swift 4

var currentDate = Date()
var CurrentTimeZone = NSTimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT")
var SystemTimeZone = NSTimeZone.system as NSTimeZone
var currentGMTOffset: Int? = CurrentTimeZone?.secondsFromGMT(for: currentDate)
var SystemGMTOffset: Int = SystemTimeZone.secondsFromGMT(for: currentDate)
var interval = TimeInterval((SystemGMTOffset - currentGMTOffset!))
var TodayDate = Date(timeInterval: interval, since: currentDate)
print("Current time zone Today Date : \(TodayDate)")

Hope it helps to another developers ! Happy Coding !
