Swift iOS: Parsing of date from a string does not work for some devices. so weird

Question

From the debugger it shows that the date string is "2017-08-01 00:00:00" and I passed the correct format too. But the dateFormatter.date part always fail (return nil) for 1 device. But some its working for simulator and other iphone devices. Im using swift3

You may want to look at this [thread](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1480/_index.html) to understand more about why it may not be working in this specific device. — Puneet Sharma, Oct 09 '17 at 06:45

Try to set your locale:

dateFormatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
