You can resolve this problem with NSMeasurement and NSUnitDuration. These classes require iOS 10.0+, tvOS 10.0+, macOS 10.12+ or watchOS 3.0+. The code below converts seconds to minutes and seconds.

int seconds = 230;
NSMeasurement* measurement = [[NSMeasurement alloc] initWithDoubleValue:seconds unit:NSUnitDuration.seconds];
NSMeasurement* measurementMinutes = [measurement measurementByConvertingToUnit:NSUnitDuration.minutes];
int minutes = floor(measurementMinutes.doubleValue);
NSMeasurement* measurementMinutesWithoutSeconds = [measurement measurementBySubtractingMeasurement:[[NSMeasurement alloc] initWithDoubleValue:minutes unit:NSUnitDuration.minutes]];
int secondsRemainder = floor([measurementMinutesWithoutSeconds measurementByConvertingToUnit:NSUnitDuration.seconds].doubleValue);
NSLog(@"%d %d", minutes, secondsRemainder); // 3 50
