NSdate Assuming wrong time zone

Question

I am trying to convert the following string into an NSDate object:

NSString *str=@\"25 May 2012 10:25:00\";

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormat         


        

Answer 1

When you see an [NSDate description] printed in the console, it is always the corresponding time in GMT. If you use the same date formatter to convert the date back to a string, it should be in the specified time zone.

An [NSDate description] is what you see if you type

po date

or

po [date description]

or you use NSLog to send either one of these forms to the console.
