I encountered same issue some months ago. And here's my solution for reference:

// *****************************************
// MARK: - Formatter extension
// *****************************************
extension Formatter {
    static let iso8601: ISO8601DateFormatter = {
        let formatter = ISO8601DateFormatter()
        formatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current 
        formatter.formatOptions = [.withInternetDateTime, .withFractionalSeconds]
        return formatter
    }()
    static let iso8601NoSecond: ISO8601DateFormatter = {
        let formatter = ISO8601DateFormatter()
        formatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current 
        formatter.formatOptions = [.withInternetDateTime]
        return formatter
    }()
}

// *****************************************
// MARK: - ISO8601 helper
// *****************************************
    func getDateFrom(DateString8601 dateString:String) -> Date?
    {
        if let date = Formatter.iso8601.date(from: dateString)  {
            return date
        }
        if let date = Formatter.iso8601NoSecond.date(from: dateString)  {
            return date
        }
        return nil
    }

// *****************************************
// usage
// *****************************************
    let d = getDateFrom(DateString8601: "2017-01-23T10:12:31.484Z")
    print("2017-01-23T10:12:31.484Z millis= ", d?.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate)

    let d2 = getDateFrom(DateString8601: "2017-01-23T10:12:31Z")
    print("2017-01-23T10:12:31Z millis= ", d2?.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate)


// *****************************************
// result
// *****************************************
2017-01-23T10:12:31.484Z millis=  Optional(506859151.48399997)
2017-01-23T10:12:31Z millis=  Optional(506859151.0)
