Question

I have an NSDateCategory that is misbehaving. I am setting the year, month day but its result is completely different :

variables :
year = 2012
month = 10
day = 1

 + (NSDate *)dateWithYear:(NSInteger)year month:(NSInteger)month day:(NSInteger)day 
    {
        NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
        NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
        [components setYear:year];
        [components setMonth:month];
        [components setDay:day];
        NSDate *result =  [calendar dateFromComponents:components];

        return result;
    }

NSLog output
result = 2012-09-30 23:00:00 +0000

Answer 1

Add this line

[components setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"UTC"]];

Hope this will work for you
