Get next year from the current NSDate?

Question

I have a calendar application in which I want to get the next year from the current date (NSDate).

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can make NSDateComponents do all the hard work of calculating leap years and leap seconds:

NSDate *today = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *offsetComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[offsetComponents setYear:1];
NSDate *nextYear = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:offsetComponents toDate:today options:0];
