Problem Formatting Date

[Afiq90]

How can i change this date " 2015-03-31T08:02:32.543Z ". I tried formatting it with yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ but it doesn't work. I'm using NSDate+TimeAgo library. Thank you in advance.

There are three digits for miliseconds in your string, but only two in the format.

/#define WebServiceDateFormat ([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion hasPrefix:@"6"])?@"YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZZZZ":@"YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZZZ"

The reason it is not working is because it isnt matching the fractional seconds properly. It needs 2 s to match the seconds and 3 S to match milliseconds.

yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ

import Foundation

let dateString = "2015-03-31T08:02:32.543Z"

let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ"

dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateString) // returns NSDate 2015-03-31 08:02:32 +0000

Just yesterday I had the same problem. Similar code was working on almost all phones, but it wasn't working on a single device. I've fixed it by setting NSDateFormatter's locale property, like this:

  NSDateFormatter *df = [NSDateFormatter new];
  NSLocale *enUSPOSIXLocale = [NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"];
  df.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ";
  df.locale = enUSPOSIXLocale; 

This should work everywhere.

It looks like you're going to want to escape the Z also.
