To specify a custom fixed format for a date formatter, you use setDateFormat:. The format string uses the format patterns from the Unicode Technical Standard #35. The version of the standard varies with release of the operating system:
Calendar Fields
fields ( alias | (field*, special*)) > field ( alias | (displayName?, relative*, special*)) >
Translations may be supplied for names of calendar fields (elements of a calendar, such as Day, Month, Year, Hour, and so on), and for relative values for those fields (for example, the day with relative value -1 is "Yesterday"). Where there is not a convenient, customary word or phrase in a particular language for a relative value, it should be omitted.

Thread Safety On earlier versions of the operating system, or when using the legacy formatter behavior or running in 32-bit in macOS, NSDateFormatter is not thread safe, and you therefore must not mutate a date formatter simultaneously from multiple threads.
The NSDate class provides methods for comparing dates, calculating the time interval between two dates, and creating a new date from a time interval relative to another date.
In most cases the best locale to choose is "en_US_POSIX", a locale that's specifically designed to yield US English results regardless of both user and system preferences.
Your dateFormat in ListViewRow is E, dd MMM yyyy , whereas your date is in format E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z . You must convert your date using this dateFormat. You can then use the date object to get a string in your desired format.
use – setDoesRelativeDateFormatting:
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new]; dateFormatter.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterShortStyle; dateFormatter.timeStyle = NSDateFormatterShortStyle; dateFormatter.doesRelativeDateFormatting = YES; NSLog(@"%@", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]]); this logs Today, 11:30 AM on en_US locales.
