How to check if 24 hours have passed in Swift

Question

I have to implement in my app where after a user had saved his recording, I will have to determine if 24 hours have passed from the creation date of that recording. So far what I have at the moment is just to determine if current date is not equal to the creation date. I really appreciate anybody's help, thanks in advance.

You can use UserDefault to save the date upon creation of the record. The syntax will be

UserDefaults.standard.set(Date(), forKey:"creationTime")

Whenever you want to check the saved date, retrieve it in this way

if let date = UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "creationTime") as? Date {
    if let diff = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.hour], from: date, to: Date()).hour, diff > 24 {
        //do something
    }
}
