Answer 1

Here is the conversion for swift 3.0 :

func getCurrentLocalDate()-> Date {
    var now = Date()
    var nowComponents = DateComponents()
    let calendar = Calendar.current
    nowComponents.year = Calendar.current.component(.year, from: now)
    nowComponents.month = Calendar.current.component(.month, from: now)
    nowComponents.day = Calendar.current.component(.day, from: now)
    nowComponents.hour = Calendar.current.component(.hour, from: now)
    nowComponents.minute = Calendar.current.component(.minute, from: now)
    nowComponents.second = Calendar.current.component(.second, from: now)
    nowComponents.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT")!
    now = calendar.date(from: nowComponents)!
    return now as Date
}
