NSDateFormatter returns nil with format YYYY-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ

Question

I'm trying to get the NSDate from a string with the following format 'YYYY-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ' using the NSDateFormatter. The NSDateFormatter returns always nil. Here is how I tried to do that:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss'Z'"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"2013-08-09T18:30:00+02:00"];

Answer 1

that would be a better formatter.

[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"];
