Your dateFormat of DateFormatter and string date in array doesn't match so changes the dateFormat to yyyy-MM-dd and then check array contains object or not.

fileprivate lazy var dateFormatter1: DateFormatter = {
    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
    return formatter
}()
