A note from http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime. Thanks to borrrden for bringing this to notice.

Times are expressed in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), with a special UTC designator ("Z").

NSString *inputString = @"2010-05-29T16:31:49.000Z";

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
[dateFormatter setLocale:[[NSLocale alloc]initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"]];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSz"];

NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:inputString];
