Get NSDate object from server timestamp string

Question

I have a server timestamp format like so 2016-11-21T11:04:02, how can I convert this to an NSDate object?

Answer 1

NSString *serverTimeString=@"2016-11-21T11:04:02";

NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"];
NSDate* date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:serverTimeString];
