Getting error when converting date format error | Swift - swift

Question

Essentially I would like to convert the following:
2022-07-01 14:35:00
To simply:
July 1st
The following is what I currently have because the initial input is string, but when I'm converting from string to date time the hour seems to have +2 hours added to it. Why is this happening?
// Create String
let string = "2022-07-01 14:35:00"
// Create Date Formatter
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
// Set Date Format
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
// Convert String to Date
let newdate = dateFormatter.date(from: string)
print(newdate!)

Answer 1

Time depends on where you are. So in this case the +2 hours you see, may be due to the difference in TimeZone. So adjust the TimeZone in the format to match the original place, or put everything in GMT TimeZone, or a common TimeZone of your choosing. Alternatively, keep the time difference.
Try something like this:
let string = "2022-07-01 14:35:00"
let readFormatter = DateFormatter()
readFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT") // <-- here adjust
readFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
let writeFormatter = DateFormatter()
writeFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT") // <-- here adjust
writeFormatter.dateFormat = "LLLL dd"
if let theDate = readFormatter.date(from: string) {
print("\n----> theDate: \(theDate)") // ----> theDate: 2022-07-01 14:35:00 +0000
let simpleDate = writeFormatter.string(from: theDate)
print("\n----> simpleDate: \(simpleDate)") // ----> simpleDate: July 01
}
