Question

How To Add Month To NSDate Object?

NSDate *someDate = [NSDate Date] + 30Days.....;

Answer 1

You need to use NSDateComponents:

NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[dateComponents setMonth:1];
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDate *newDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents toDate:originalDate options:0];
[dateComponents release]; // If ARC is not used, release the date components

Answer 2

With iOS 8 and OS X 10.9 you can add NSCalendarUnits using NSCalendar:

Objective-C

NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDate *someDate = [cal dateByAddingUnit:NSCalendarUnitMonth value:1 toDate:[NSDate date] options:0];

Swift 3

let date = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: 1, to: Date())

Swift 2

let cal = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
let date = cal.dateByAddingUnit(.Month, value: 1, toDate: NSDate(), options: [])

Answer 3

Do you want to add a "month" or exactly 30 days or one day or one year based on user selecting automatically calculation to date.

  NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] 
  init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];
    NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:(NSCalendarUnitHour | NSCalendarUnitMinute) fromDate:[NSDate date]];

        NSDateComponents *dayComponent = [[NSDateComponents alloc] 
 init];
        int changeid = [here number of days intValue];

        dayComponent.hour = changeid;

        NSCalendar *theCalendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
        NSDate *nextDate = [theCalendar 
 dateByAddingComponents:dayComponent toDate:[dateFormatter 
  dateFromString:self.fromDateTF.text] options:0];

        NSLog(@"nextDate: %@ ...", nextDate);
        [self.toDateTF setText:[dateFormatter 
            stringFromDate:nextDate]];
