iOS: Convert UTC NSDate to local Timezone

Convert the date from the UTC calendar to one with the appropriate local NSTimeZone.

You can try this one:

NSDate *currentDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSTimeZone *timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterLongStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterLongStyle];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:timeZone];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"ZZZ"];
NSString *localDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currentDate];
NSMutableString *mu = [NSMutableString stringWithString:localDateString];
[mu insertString:@":" atIndex:3];
 NSString *strTimeZone = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"(GMT%@)%@",mu,timeZone.name];
 NSLog(@"%@",strTimeZone);

Please use this code.

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"]; 
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"UTC"]];
NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"2015-04-01T11:42:00"]; // create date from string

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEE, MMM d, yyyy - h:mm a"];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]];
NSString *timestamp = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];

Solution for SwiftDate library:

// Take date by seconds in UTC time zone
var viewModelDate: Date = DateInRegion(seconds: Double(backendModel.scheduledTimestamp)).date 

...

// Convert date to local timezone and convert to string by format rule.
label.text = viewModelDate.convertTo(region: .current).toFormat(" EEE MM/dd j:mm")
