Xcode Swift am/pm time to 24 hour format

by

Just convert it to a date using NSDateFormatter and the “h:mm a” format and convert it back to a string using the “HH:mm” format. Check out this date formatting guide to familiarize yourself with this material.

enter image description here

let dateAsString = "6:35 PM"
let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "h:mm a"
dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX") // fixes nil if device time in 24 hour format
let date = dateFormatter.dateFromString(dateAsString)

dateFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
let date24 = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(date!)
