Question

This is my code! But event.startDate return 2012-12-29 18:05:00 +0000

data is a string = “04-12-2012”

NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
 [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-YYYY HH:mm"];
 NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",data,oraInizio]];
 NSDate *date2 = [dateFormat dateFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",data,oraFine]];

event.startDate=date;
event.endDate=date2;

Why 2012-12-29 and not 2012-12-04 ??

This is the complete script

- (IBAction)aggiungiEvento:(id)sender {

    EKEventStore *eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];

    if([eventStore respondsToSelector:@selector(requestAccessToEntityType:completion:)]) {
     // iOS 6 and later
     [eventStore requestAccessToEntityType:EKEntityTypeEvent completion:^(BOOL granted, NSError *error) {
        if (granted){

            EKEvent *event  = [EKEvent eventWithEventStore:eventStore];
            event.title     = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ al %@",tipoLocale,nomeLocale];

            NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
            [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-YYYY HH:mm"];

            NSLog(@"%@   %@",data,oraInizio);

            NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",data,oraInizio]];
            NSDate *date2 = [dateFormat dateFromString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",data,oraFine]];


            event.startDate=date;
            event.endDate=date2;

            [event setCalendar:[eventStore defaultCalendarForNewEvents]];
            NSError *err;
            [eventStore saveEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&err];

             NSLog(@"%@  %@",event.startDate,data);

        }else
        {
            //----- codes here when user NOT allow your app to access the calendar.
        }
    }];
}

It is because you have used @"YYYY" when you should have used @”yyyy” in the year part of your format.

Note that even after you fix that, your time may still be wrong if you don’t do something about specifying the time zone.
