iOS one month from current Date.


I'm trying to get one month from the current date.

Below is what I have and it is returning: 4027-09-24 16:59:00 +0000. currentDate is right. What's going on?

// Get todays date to set the monthly subscription expiration date
NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSLog(@"Current Date = %@", currentDate);
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit fromDate:currentDate];
dateComponents.month = dateComponents.month + 1;
NSDate *currentDatePlus1Month = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents toDate:currentDate options:0];
NSLog(@"Date = %@", currentDatePlus1Month);

Solution

  • Try this instead:

    // Get todays date to set the monthly subscription expiration date
    NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
    NSLog(@"Current Date = %@", currentDate);
    
    NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [NSDateComponents new];
    dateComponents.month = 1;
    
    NSDate *currentDatePlus1Month = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents toDate:currentDate options:0];
    NSLog(@"Date = %@", currentDatePlus1Month);
