Wrong date comes back from NSDateComponents

Question

Why is this giving me the wrong date ?

 NSCalendar *myCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier: NSGregorianCalendar];
    NSDateComponents*          


        

Answer 1

Probably the date is correct, but you misunderstood the log:

Logging a date is always done in TZ +0000. For example, if you are in central europe, you will have the (expected?) date 2013-06-28 05:00:00 +0200, but the log will display the normilzed date 2013-06-28 03:00:00 +0000. This is the same date and time! It is simply expressed in a different way.

If your components are in TZ +0000, too, you should set the time zone of the calendar.
