SWIFT 3

This code solve the problem for swift 3.

func epochToLocal(epochTime:Double)->String{

    let timeResult:Double = epochTime
    let date = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970: timeResult)
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.timeStyle = DateFormatter.Style.medium //Set time style
    dateFormatter.dateStyle = DateFormatter.Style.medium //Set date style
    let timeZone = TimeZone.autoupdatingCurrent.identifier as String
    dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: timeZone)
    let localDate = dateFormatter.string(from: date as Date)
    return "\(localDate)"

}

Check the reference of Date:

init(timeIntervalSince1970: TimeInterval)

Returns a Date initialized relative to 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 by a given number of seconds.

Simply use the initializer of Date:

let epochTime: TimeInterval = 1475616846.424875
let date = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: epochTime)
print(date) //->2016-10-04 21:34:06 +0000
