How to convert Unix timestamp into Swift NSDate object?

Question

I'm getting dates as Unix timestamps through my API and I want to convert them into NSDate objects in Swift.

How can I do that?

Why down vote and close this question ?? It is very legitimate for a new iOS programmer. I actually found this question because I was asking myself the same thing. — Regis St-Gelais, Oct 20 '15 at 18:03

Try this:

var date = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970: timeInterval)

Was that timeInterval is Double type? – Thiha Aung Aug 31 '16 at 07:18
It's a `NSTimeInterval`, which as of Swift 2.2 is defined as `public typealias NSTimeInterval = Double` – Marcos Crispino Aug 31 '16 at 12:00
