My code is:

df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

df.dateStyle=NSDateFormatterMediumStyle;
datePicker.date=[df dateFromString:[tempArray objectAtIndex:2]];

Answer 1

Try below code your app cannot get crashed.

df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
df.dateStyle=NSDateFormatterMediumStyle;
[df setDateFormat:@"MMMM-dd-yyyy"];
datePicker.date=[df dateFromString:[tempArray objectAtIndex:2]];

Answer 2

check this and change dateformat if causing anything change as your time zone too

 NSDateFormatter *formatDate = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];  
[formatDate setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy  HH:mm:ss"];
NSTimeZone *zoneTime=[NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
[formate setTimeZone:zoneTime];
NSDate *date = [formate dateFromString:yourDateArray];  
NSLog(@"Output date :%@",date);

[yourDatePicker setDate:date];
