Repeat UILocalNotification on Specific day

Question

I need to set UILocalNotification, I just need to take hour and minute from DatePicker and need to set specific date ( like : Monday ) and repeat it on every Monday.

Here's @iPatel's solution that also factors in the time component passed in via the datepicker. (I also updated his solution to use the latest calendar units that aren't deprecated).

- (NSDate *) getFireDateForDayOfWeek:(NSInteger)desiredWeekday withTime:(NSDate *)time // 1:Sunday - 7:Saturday
{
    NSRange weekDateRange = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] maximumRangeOfUnit:NSCalendarUnitWeekday];
    NSInteger daysInWeek = weekDateRange.length - weekDateRange.location + 1;

    NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSCalendarUnitWeekday fromDate:[NSDate date]];
    NSInteger currentWeekday = dateComponents.weekday;
    NSInteger differenceDays = (desiredWeekday - currentWeekday + daysInWeek) % daysInWeek;

    NSDateComponents *daysComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
    daysComponents.day = differenceDays;
    NSDate *fireDate = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateByAddingComponents:daysComponents toDate:[NSDate date] options:0];

    NSDateComponents *timeComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:     NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute fromDate:time];
    NSDateComponents *fireDateComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar]
                components: NSCalendarUnitYear | NSCalendarUnitMonth | NSCalendarUnitDay | NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute | NSCalendarUnitSecond
                fromDate:fireDate];

    fireDateComponents.hour = timeComponents.hour;
    fireDateComponents.minute = timeComponents.minute;
    fireDateComponents.second = 0;

    NSDate *resultDate = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateFromComponents:fireDateComponents];

    // The day could be today but time is in past. If so, move ahead to next week
    if(resultDate.timeIntervalSinceNow < 0) {
        resultDate = [resultDate dateByAddingTimeInterval:60 * 60 * 24 * 7];
    }

    return resultDate;
}
