UIDatePicker timezone fix – Swift iOS
UiDatePicker in Swift has some timezone issues, so we will teach you how you can fix it.
Convert time to different timezones
If you are working on UIDatePicker in your Swift project, you might come across a problem that when fetching the value from UIDatePicker it usually returns the value by mapping with your timezone. But we want to have the actual value from the date picker as it is (without having timezone mapping).
UIDatePicker timezone fix
You can use the following function to get the actual value selected from date picker:
datepicker.date.description(with: .current)
Assuming datepicker is your outlet for type UIDatePicker. You can also prevent the user from selecting previous dates by writing the following line at the end of your viewDidLoad() function:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
datepicker.minimumDate = Date()
}
