iOS 6: Conversion from NSString to NSDate not working

Question

date is always nil, and I am not able to understand what the issue is.

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"2013-07-16T07:40:36.939-04:00"];

Answer 1

try like this,for adding hours use - symbol and for substacting use + symbol.

 NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ"];
    NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"2013-07-16T07:40:36.939-04:00"];//chnage symbal here.
    NSLog(@"%@",date);

O/P:-2013-07-16 11:40:36 +0000
