Swift 4 Date is nil after formatting

I have a date like so:

2014-10-28T00:00:00

and when I try to format it, it returns nil, this is what I tried:

let formatter = DateFormatter()

                formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"

                let closingDate = formatter.date(from: item["closingDate"] as! String)

Why is it returning nil? and How can I fix it?

Solution

  • Drop the millisecond and the timezone from your format:

    formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"
