Timezone in the future

Question

I'm working on an app that can book services in later dates in many timezones. My problem is that when i'm getting timezone for one country, i got this timezone for now.

But this week-end we will change our timezone, and Paris (Actually +1) we'll become +2.

How can I get this timezone for a date like tuesday programmatically ?

Answer 1

You can use various methods. One would be to use

- (NSInteger)secondsFromGMTForDate:(NSDate *)aDate

of NSTimeZone and get the GMT offset for a certain date and a certain timezone. Or you can use

– daylightSavingTimeOffsetForDate:

to check wether there needs a DST offset to be accounted for.
