Convert string to date in Swift

• Convert the ISO8601 string to date

  let isoDate = "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000"let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX") // set locale to reliable US_POSIXdateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"let date = dateFormatter.date(from:isoDate)!

• Get the date components for year, month, day and hour from the date

  let calendar = Calendar.currentlet components = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day, .hour], from: date)

• Finally create a new Date object and strip minutes and seconds

  let finalDate = calendar.date(from:components)

Consider also the convenience formatter ISO8601DateFormatter introduced in iOS 10 / macOS 12:

let isoDate = "2016-04-14T10:44:00+0000"let dateFormatter = ISO8601DateFormatter()let date = dateFormatter.date(from:isoDate)!

Try the following date Format.

let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ssZZZ"let date = dateFormatter. dateFromString (strDate)

Hope it helps..

Swift 4.1 :

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ssZZZ"let date = dateFormatter.date(from: strDate)

In Swift 4.1 you can do:

func getDate() -> Date? {    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"    dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current    dateFormatter.locale = Locale.current    return dateFormatter.date(from: "2015-04-01T11:42:00") // replace Date String}
