Question

BUG in IPHONE SDK 3.1 secondsFromGMT method of NSTimeZone Returning Wrong value Documentation says: secondsFromGMT Returns the current difference in seconds between the receiver and Greenwich Mean Time. This my Sample code

NSTimeZone *tZone =[NSTimeZone  timeZoneWithName:@"Asia/Calcutta"];
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
[calendar setTimeZone:tZone];
NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat:@" seconds from GMT:%d",[tZone secondsFromGMT]);

I am getting sseconds from GMT:625272 as output it should be 19800

Answer 1

Sorry, but you’re wrong. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata or NSTimeZone-Documentation (knownTimeZoneNames – sorry, may not post more than one link).

@ muthukumar: should I believe what you’re saying? At least within my snow leopard I just can’t select Calcutta. But with Kolkata everything is fine!
