[SOLVED] Create date by components in swift

Issue

Hello i have a problem: I try to create date by components but it’s give me wrong hours..
For example, I want to have 2022-04-24 00:00:00
Here the code

func createDate(year: Int, month: Int, day: Int, hour: Int, minutes: Int)->Date {
   let calendar = Calendar.current

    var dateComponents = DateComponents()
    dateComponents.year = year
    dateComponents.month = month
    dateComponents.day = day
    dateComponents.hour = hour
    dateComponents.minute = minute

   let date = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)!
   return date
}

let date = createDate(year: 2022, month: 4, day: 24, hour: 0, minute: 0) // return 2022-04-23 22:00:00 +0000

let date2 = createDate(year: 2022, month: 4, day: 24, hour: 9, minute: 0) // return 2022-04-24 7:00:00 +0000

I have 2 hours late.
I’m in France, i set my virtual device in France region.
Do you know where is the error ?

Solution

Try adding "GMT" timezone, such as:

 dateComponents.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "GMT")
