You can use following code to split the date into separate components:

NSDate *inputDate = [NSDate date];  //assign the value selected from date picker 
NSCalendar* calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];

unsigned unitFlags = NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit |  NSDayCalendarUnit;
NSDateComponents* componentObj = [calendar components:unitFlags fromDate:inputDate];
NSInteger day = componentObj.day;
NSInteger month = componentObj.month;
NSInteger year = componentObj.year;
