This can be very simple question, but I'm unable to convert "January 1, 1987" type string into "dd-MM-yyyy" format which is returning from Facebook for the value "user_birthday". Please Help! Thank you in advance.

Very simple : Need two dateFormatter formats:

NSString *string=@"January 1, 1987"; // type string into "dd-MM-yyyy"
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter=[NSDateFormatter new];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMM dd, yyyy"];
NSDate *date=[dateFormatter dateFromString:string];
NSLog(@"%@",date);
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSString *stringDate=[dateFormatter stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(@"%@",stringDate);
