Answer 1

If you want to know which are the weekend days you can use this extension:

extension Calendar {

    /// Return the weekSymbol index for the first week end day
    var firstWeekendDay: Int {
        let firstWeekDay = self.firstWeekday
        return (firstWeekDay - 2) >= 0 ? firstWeekDay - 2 : firstWeekDay - 2 + 7
    }

    /// Return the weekSymbol index for the second week end day
    var secondWeekendDay: Int {
        let firstWeekDay = self.firstWeekday
        return (firstWeekDay - 1) >= 0 ? firstWeekDay - 1 : firstWeekDay - 1 + 7
    }

}
