Thank you everyone. I simplified the extension and now have it working
properly using a formatter.
extension NSDate
{
convenience
init(dateString:String) {
let dateStringFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
dateStringFormatter.calendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier:
NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)
dateStringFormatter.dateFormat = "HH:mm"
dateStringFormatter.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier:
"en_US_POSIX")
dateStringFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
let d = dateStringFormatter.dateFromString(dateString)!
self.init(timeInterval:0, sinceDate:d)
}
}
...
let val = 10 //Test
let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
calendar.timeZone = NSTimeZone.localTimeZone()
calendar.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US_POSIX")
let startDate = NSDate(dateString:"11:30")
let date = calendar.dateByAddingUnit(.Minute, value: val, toDate:
startDate, options: [])
let formatter = NSDateFormatter()
formatter.dateStyle = .NoStyle
formatter.timeStyle = .ShortStyle
let dateString = formatter.stringFromDate(date!)
print(dateString) //*Correct*
