Attached below piece of code,

 let event = EKEvent(eventStore: store)
 event.title = "calendar Name"
 event.startDate = startDate //2016-05-19 00:00:00 +0000
 event.endDate = endDate // 2016-05-19 23:59:59 +0000

 do {

    try store.saveEvent(event, span: .ThisEvent, commit: true)

  } catch {

  }

let gregorian = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian) gregorian?.timeZone = NSTimeZone(forSecondsFromGMT: 0) let components = gregorian?.components([.Year,.Month,.Day], fromDate:currentDate) components?.timeZone = NSTimeZone(forSecondsFromGMT: 0) components?.hour = 00 components?.second = 00 components?.minute = 00 let beggingOfDay = gregorian?.dateFromComponents(components!) — rajes, May 18 '16 at 11:16
i don't catch what you are doing? What you want to do? Which date you want and in which timezone? — Jigar Tarsariya, May 18 '16 at 11:30
but iPhone calendar event creating time always 5.30 how to solve this time issue — rajes, May 18 '16 at 11:47
set event start date current date with 2016-05-19 00:00:00 +0000 format but native calendar app start time 5.30 Pm — rajes, May 18 '16 at 11:48
StartDate is printing like : 2016-05-19 00:00:00 +0000 or not? — Jigar Tarsariya, May 18 '16 at 12:00
startDate set perfect but iPhone calendar show correct date but time only differ — rajes, May 18 '16 at 12:13
No, its right. Just set locale like : `components?.locale = NSLocale(localeIdentifier: "en_US_POSIX")` set identifier as your need — Jigar Tarsariya, May 18 '16 at 12:17
try this but same issue return event date start from particular day 5.30AM — rajes, May 18 '16 at 12:26
Seems like your device timezone is set to IST If so, displaying 5.30 is the expected behaviour. Because when saving you are saving in GMT; notice the +0000 in the time. — 7vikram7, May 18 '16 at 12:28
Also, looks like you want to set an event for entire day. So just set event.allDay = YES; — 7vikram7, May 18 '16 at 12:36
It is not mandatory. I hope the above suggestion solved your problem? — 7vikram7, May 18 '16 at 12:49
if allday set true default take start time 12.00Am beginning of day is true? — rajes, May 18 '16 at 12:59

Seems like your device timezone is set to IST.

Hence, 5.30 AM displayed in your device’s calendar is the expected behaviour. Because when saving the start time; you are saving it in GMT; notice the +0000 in the time.

If you want to save the event as an all day event, Simply set

event.allDay = YES
