NSDateFormatter return incorrect date from string

by

The +0000 at the end of the date indicates GMT. All dates are stored relative to GMT; when you convert a date to a string or vice versa using a date formatter, the offset to your time zone is included. You can use NSDateFormatter’s -setTimeZone: method to set the time zone used.

In short, you’re not doing anything wrong in your code. Use [df stringFromDate:date]; to see that the date is correct. (You can also use NSDate’s -descriptionWithCalendarFormat:timeZone:locale:.)
