How to get the current time instead of device time in iOS

Question

Im using [NSDate date] to get the current time. Everything works fine if user don't change the time...I mean if user changed manually instead of setting it automatically. Then how can I get the original time?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can't find this out. The only way that goes through my mind is to take date from your server.. :(

Answer 2

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];                               
// display in 12HR/24HR (i.e. 11:25PM or 23:25) format according to User Settings
    [dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];

   NSString *startTime = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:startDateTime];                   

   NSString *endTime = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:endDateTime];

   NSLog(@"User's current time %@ and end Time %@ in their preference format",startTime,endTime);
