Title Body

My country is located in GMT+0. We are +1 hour now, because we are in daylight saving. When I do [NSDate date]; it was supposed to return the current date and time, but when I do that, I receive the GMT time not considering the daylight saving. This is what the docs say about the date command Creates and returns a new date set to the current date and time. Why Apple does that to us? Why everything is so complex? Is this a bug? Is there a way to get the current real time the device is on? the same time that is displayed on the device's clock? My app depends on dates and times and having a wrong date for an user located in a different timezone around the world that is on summertime or wintertime will be a disaster. Thanks. EDIT After several answers, I have tried this code: NSDate *wrongToday = [NSDate date]; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease]; [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle]; [dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle]; [dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]]; NSString *currentTime = [dateFormatter wrongToday]; NSDate *today = [dateFormatter dateFromString:currentTime]; guess what, today = wrongToday... in other words, no change, I continue to have the wrong date without daylight saving. what is more amazing is that currentTime shows in NSString the date with daylight saving... any clues? thanks again.
