Question

-(NSDate *)beginningOfDay:(NSDate *)date
{
    NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
    NSDateComponents *components = [cal components:( NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit ) fromDate:date];
    
    [components setHour:0];
    [components setMinute:0];
    [components setSecond:0];
    
    return [cal dateFromComponents:components];
    
}

-(NSDate *)endOfDay:(NSDate *)date
{
    NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
    NSDateComponents *components = [cal components:(  NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit ) fromDate:date];
    
    [components setHour:23];
    [components setMinute:59];
    [components setSecond:59];
    
    return [cal dateFromComponents:components];

}

When I call : [self endOfDay:[NSDate date]];
I get the first of the month … Why is that? I use this two methods because I need an interval that is from the first second of the first date (beginningOfDay:date1) to the last second of the second date (endOfDay:Date2) …

You are missing NSDayCalendarUnit in

NSDateComponents *components = [cal components:( NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit ) fromDate:date];
