Question

UIDatePickerModeDateAndTime returns an output in format

2012-12-20 07:15:18 +0000.

How can I remove the +0000 from the output?

I wanted to make a screenshot, but yet my reputation is not enough, I hope it will clear my question.

Answer 1

use a NSDateFormatter

- (IBAction)dateChanged:(UIDatePicker *)sender {
    NSDate *date = sender.date;
    NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [df setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];   // if you want to show the date to the user
    [df setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];   // if you want to show the date to the user
    // [df setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"];  // if you want to use the date for your model

    NSString *dateString = [df stringFromDate:date];
    NSLog(@"%@", dateString);
}

If you want to show the date to the user please use setDateStyle: and setTimeStyle:, because they are locale aware and produce the output in the correct format.
If you need that date only for the back end (e.g. creating a file name) use setDateFormat:.
