Answer 1

Simply change one line of code in your code...

[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"UTC"]];

This will set time format in universal which doesnot change with region or day light saving time.

Answer 2

I use following code to get desired timezone-converted datetime:

- (NSString *) getUTCDate : (NSString *) inputDate
{
    NSDateFormatter *utcDateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [utcDateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss Z"];
    [utcDateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"UTC"]];
  //  [utcDateFormatter setTimeZone :[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT: 0]];        
    // utc format
    NSDate *dateInUTC = [utcDateFormatter dateFromString: inputDate];        

    return dateInUTC;
}

where dateInUTC is the date in GMT timezone.

You need to replace your own timezone in call [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"UTC"] and it should work.
