DateFormatter in Swift 3

So, I have some code in my playground:

extension String {
   func stringToDate(withFormat format:String) -> Date? {
      let df = DateFormatter()
      df.dateFormat = format

      return df.date(from: self) ?? nil
   }
}

struct Some { 
   let date:String
}

let some = Some(date: "Fri, 06 Jan 2017 04:36:17 +0000")

print(some.date.stringToDate(withFormat: "E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z") ?? "ooops")

And it's work's fine. I received the date that I expected - 2017-01-06 04:36:17 +0000 But in my app same code and same string with date does not work properly

You possibly have different default locales in playground and in application.

You can check it with print(df.locale).

E.g. if you set locale to ru_RU:

df.locale = Locale(identifier: "ru_RU")

then your date will not be parsed.

To have stable parsing result set locale to en_US_POSIX as @MartinR suggested.
