Question

I selected the Arabic date in my device but i have to send the that date to the server in US format. Please help me. I'm using this code ::

  NSTimeZone *timeZone = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
    [dateFormatter setTimeZone:timeZone];
    strCreatedDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:today];
    NSDate *oldTime = [dateFormatter dateFromString:strCreatedDate];
    NSString *estDateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:oldTime];

Answer 1

you can use the following code for date formate..

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"your date formate"];

NSString *strDate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
