Convert ISO 8601 to NSDate

Question

I have a timestamp coming from server that looks like this:

2013-04-18T08:49:58.157+0000

I\'ve tried removing the colons, I\'ve tried all

Answer 1

I also have the native API, which is way cleaner... This is the implementation I got in my DateTimeManager class:

+ (NSDate *)getDateFromISO8601:(NSString *)strDate{

    NSISO8601DateFormatter *formatter = [[NSISO8601DateFormatter alloc] init];
    NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString: strDate];
    return date;
}

Just copy and paste the method, it would do the trick. Enjoy it!
