I need confirmation regarding timezone displaying EST

I am wondering if the code below will correctly display Eastern time correctly no matter what (day light savings or when it isn't day light savings). Right now my App isn't displaying data correctly because of day light savings. This code seems to work well now, but I don't want to find out in a few months that this time doesn't adjust correctly.

 [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithName:@"US/Eastern"]
Solution

  • Yes,

    For March 10 2015, it displays

    US/Eastern (EDT) offset -14400 (Daylight)

    For March 1 2015, it displays

    US/Eastern (EST) offset -18000
