Increase NSDate +1 day method Objective-C?

Question

This is my method I use for increasing by one day in my navigationBar, and setting the name of the day as a title. I know it's wrong because I set "today" variable every time its called. But I can't figure out how to increase +1 day every time I call this method.

-(void)stepToNextDay:(id)sender
{
    today = [NSDate date];
    NSDate *datePlusOneDay = [today dateByAddibgTimeInterval:(60 * 60 * 24)];
    NSDateFormatter *dateformatterBehaviour = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]autorelease];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE"];
    NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:datePlusOneDay];
    self.navigationItem.title = datestring;
}

Answer 1

Store the date your are showing in a property (ivar, ...) of your view controller. That way you can retrieve the current setting when you go to the next day.

If you want to reliably add dates, use NSCalendar and NSDateComponents to get a "1 day" unit, and add that to the current date.

NSCalendar*       calendar = [[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier: NSGregorianCalendar] autorelease];
NSDateComponents* components = [[[NSDateComponents alloc] init] autorelease];
components.day = 1;
NSDate* newDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents: components toDate: self.date options: 0];

Answer 2

As from iOS 8 NSGregorianCalendar is depricated, the updated answer will be,

NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
components.day = 1;
NSDate *newDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:today options:0];

Swift Code:

var today:NSDate = NSDate()
let calender:NSCalendar! = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian)
var components:NSDateComponents = NSDateComponents()
components.setValue(1, forComponent: NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitDay)
var newDate:NSDate! = calender.dateByAddingComponents(components, toDate:today, options: NSCalendarOptions(0))
