LocalizedString of DateFormatter is different from iOS default calendar app

When I try to get the localizedString from DateFormatter, the output is different from the format that the iOS default calendar app shows.

DateFormatter for KR Locale shows (for dateStyle full)

2017년 8월 15일 화요일

where iOS default calendar app shows

2017년 8월 15일 (화)

How do I get the localizedString as shown in the iOS default calendar app? Should I create custom format for all the locale?

None of the standard styles show an abbreviated weekday and month name.

One option would be to use setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate.

let df = DateFormatter()
df.setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate("EEEMMMddyyyy")
let string = df.string(from: Date())

Try the following:

let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.setLocalizedDateFormatFromTemplate("EEE, MMM dd, yyyy")
print(formatter.string(from: Date()))
