I have a function like given below, and the date is displaying nil as in the screenshot, But while printing it shows the value. Did I miss something?

let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(name: "UTC")! as TimeZone
dateFormatter.locale = Locale.init(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
let date = dateFormatter.date(from: "2020-07-27 04:01:46")

this is perfect valid in playground, is this the string to erase to date or are you parsing a request and convert to date – Yoel Jimenez del valle Aug 06 '20 at 12:48
The `date` variable is an optional `Date`. Code above works fine. Are you unwrapping it? – Mark Thormann Aug 06 '20 at 12:49
The string comes from api response in the format "2020-07-27 04:01:46", – vipintklm Aug 06 '20 at 12:52
I'd double check the input then and make sure it's not being escaped, etc. Maybe add a breakpoint on that last line and inspect the variables to validate your assumptions – Mark Thormann Aug 06 '20 at 12:56
