How about trying this -

    let milisecond = 1479714427
    let dateVar = Date.init(timeIntervalSinceNow: TimeInterval(milisecond)/1000)
    var dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm"
    print(dateFormatter.string(from: dateVar))

Answer 2

Have a look at the documentation of NSDate:

convenience init(timeIntervalSince1970 secs: TimeInterval)

Returns an NSDate object initialized relative to the current date and time by a given number of seconds.

Just convert your milliseconds to seconds and you should get the correct date.

Try this,

var date = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: (1477593000000 / 1000.0))
print("date - \(date)")

You will get output as date :

date - 2016-10-27 18:30:00 +0000
