NSString to NSdate in Changes iOS 6 only

I have a string Apr. 20, 2013 Saturday @ 7:00 PM and I am using below code:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
   [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MMM. d, yyyy EEEE @ h:mm a"];
   NSDate *dateFromString = nil;
   dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:dateString];
   [dateFormatter release];

and I am getting the result as 2000-01-01 13:30:00 +0000. It is giving me wrong in iOS 6.

You have to do like this: 

NSDate *today = [[NSDate alloc] init];
NSDateFormatter *aux = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[aux setDateFormat: @"MMM. d, yyyy EEEE @ h:mm a"];
NSLocale *locale = [[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"es_ES"]; // Your locale, recommended 'en_US', 'en_GB', etc...
[aux setLocale:locale];
NSString *date = [aux stringFromDate: today];

BTW: you have to initialize your NSDate variable, if you assign it to a nil value then probably it won't work as desired like it's happening.

EDIT1: Probably you want to use this date format:

[dateFormat setDateFormat: @"EE, dd MMM yyyy '-' HH:mm"];
