You can use below function to get Date from selected picker value:

    //Create Date from picker selected value.
    func createDate(weekday: Int, hour: Int, minute: Int, year: Int)->Date{

        var components = DateComponents()
        components.hour = hour
        components.minute = minute
        components.year = year
        components.weekday = weekday // sunday = 1 ... saturday = 7
        components.weekdayOrdinal = 10
        components.timeZone = .current

        let calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
        return calendar.date(from: components)!
    }

    //Schedule Notification with weekly bases.
    func scheduleNotification(at date: Date, body: String, titles:String) {

        let triggerWeekly = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.weekday,.hour,.minute,.second,], from: date)

        let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: triggerWeekly, repeats: true)

        let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
        content.title = titles
        content.body = body
        content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default()
        content.categoryIdentifier = "todoList"

        let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "textNotification", content: content, trigger: trigger)

        UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
        //UNUserNotificationCenter.current().removeAllPendingNotificationRequests()
        UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request) {(error) in
            if let error = error {
                print("Uh oh! We had an error: \(error)")
            }
        }
    }

After getting a value from picker pass picker hour, minute and year with selected week day as (Sunday = 1, Monday = 2, Tuesday = 3, Wednesday = 4, thursday = 5, Friday = 6, Saturday = 7) to function func createDate(weekday: Int, hour: Int, minute: Int, year: Int) to get notification fire date on weekly bases, and after getting date call function func scheduleNotification(at date: Date, body: String, titles:String) for schedule a notification.
