[NSDate date]in iOS 4.0 used to return date in the format:
2010-09-15 09:28:26 +0530
but now in iOS 4.1 it returns the date in the format:
2010-09-15 09:28:26 GMT
In my application it is leading to lots of problems.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance,

Thank for your replies. I googled about the problem and somewhere I found that NSDate has a bug in iOS 4.1. So I solved the problem using following method
- (NSString *)formattedStringUsingFormat:(NSString *)dateFormat
{
NSCalendar *cal = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setDateFormat:dateFormat];
[formatter setCalendar:cal];
[formatter setLocale:[NSLocale currentLocale]];
NSString *ret = [formatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
[formatter release];
[cal release];
return ret;
}
and I passed the format as
[self formattedStringUsingFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss ZZ"];
In iOS2.x and 3.x the NSDate description/datefromstring function returns:
2010-09-24 17:30:00 - 0700
in iOS 4.1 it returns this:
2010-09-25 00:30:00 GMT
You could submit a bug to apple.
