Answer 1

You can get day from current date as follows:

NSDate * mCurrentDate = [NSDate date];

NSCalendar * calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc]initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents * weekdayComponents = [calendar components:NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate: mCurrentDate];
    
    _day    = [weekdayComponents day];

This will give you the day component of your current date.
