stringFromDate returning the wrong year

Question

#define stdDateFormat @\"YYYYMMdd\'T\'hh:mm:ssZ\"
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:stdDateFormat];
NSString *Ti         


        

Answer 1

Use lowercase yyyy for the year instead of YYYY.

Uppercase Y means the year of the start of the week the date is in (Jan 3, 2009 is in a week that starts in 2008).

See Unicode Date Format Patterns.
