CoreData NSPredicate date() function

I'm trying to use the following predicate: 

NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"ending_date < date('now')", nil];

But I'm getting NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unable to parse function name 'date:' into supported selector (date:) ' so I guess maybe the date('now') is not supported on iOS version of SQLite

how can I accomplish it?

You should use the NSExpression now instead of date: 

NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"ending_date < now", nil];

You could try this...

NSDate *dateNow = [NSDate date];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"ending_date < %@", dateNow];
