Just used the function in your code(swift 4.2).

public func convertDateFormatter(date: String) -> String {

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"//this your string date format
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(name: "UTC") as TimeZone!
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "your_loc_id")
let convertedDate = dateFormatter.date(from: date)

guard dateFormatter.date(from: date) != nil else {
    assert(false, "no date from string")
    return ""
}
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm a"///this is what you want to convert format
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(name: "UTC") as TimeZone!
let timeStamp = dateFormatter.string(from: convertedDate!)
print(timeStamp)
return timeStamp
}

Thanks
