There are some constants for NSLocale, like NSJapaneseCalendar, but what if I wanted to create a "Physical Calendar" or something that isn't there? Is there a way to define an arbitrary calendar system and then use that with NSDate, NSDateComponents and NSCalendar?

In UIKit it's not possible because you can't define your own locale, that is what you need to create your custom calendar system using NSCalendar.

What you should do is define your custom locale and use it with the initWithCalendarIdentifier for create a really custom calendar.

With "define" I'm saying:

  • create the necessary files on /usr/share/locale/
  • edit the locale.gen file to add your locale
  • execute the localgen program to compile your locale

Then you can create a custom calendar using the identifier you choose.
