A bit late to the party, but this is what I did in Swift today:

let df = NSDateFormatter()
df.locale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
df.timeStyle = .MediumStyle
df.dateStyle = .MediumStyle
println("Date: \(df.stringFromDate(obj.dateSent!))")

Depending on your OS region settings, the output should look like this (I'm in Germany):

Date: 27.11.2014 12:30:39

Note: Just figured a lot more people stumble across this SO question, so I guess it can't hurt to answer.
