NSDate format in iOS 4.1

Question

[NSDate date]in iOS 4.0 used to return date in the format: 2010-09-15 09:28:26 +0530

but now in iOS 4.1 it returns the date in the format: 2010-09-15 09:28:26 GMT

Answer 1

Thank for your replies. I googled about the problem and somewhere I found that NSDate has a bug in iOS 4.1. So I solved the problem using following method

- (NSString *)formattedStringUsingFormat:(NSString *)dateFormat
{
    NSCalendar *cal = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
    NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [formatter setDateFormat:dateFormat];
    [formatter setCalendar:cal];
    [formatter setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
    NSString *ret = [formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
    [formatter release];
    [cal release];
    return ret;
}

and I passed the format as

[self formattedStringUsingFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss ZZ"];
