This works :

NSString *birthday = @"2012-05-25";     
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];        
NSDate *dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:birthday];
NSLog(@"%@", dateFromString);

Outputs :

2012-01-25 11:36:38.157 dsv[2679:903] 2012-05-25 00:00:00 +0200
