converting timestamp to nsdate format

I want to convert my timestamp value 1308031456 to NSDate format (which yields the value Tue, 14 Jun 2011 06:04:16 GMT in online web conversion). How would I convert between the two programmatically?

Here is a code piece which lets you convert the unix type timestamp to Formatted Date

NSString * timeStampString =@"1304245000";
NSTimeInterval _interval=[timeStampString doubleValue];
NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:_interval];
NSDateFormatter *_formatter=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[_formatter setDateFormat:@"dd.MM.yyyy"];
NSString *_date=[_formatter stringFromDate:date];

This will print _date something like 05.03.2011

In obj c

double timeStamp = 1513330403393;
NSTimeInterval unixTimeStamp = timeStamp / 1000.0;
NSDate *exactDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:unixTimeStamp];
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormatter.dateFormat = @"dd/MM/yyy hh:mm a";
NSString  *finalate = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:exactDate];

In Swift

let timeStamp = 1513330403393
let unixTimeStamp: Double = Double(timeStamp) / 1000.0
let exactDate = NSDate.init(timeIntervalSince1970: unixTimeStamp)
let dateFormatt = DateFormatter();
dateFormatt.dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyy hh:mm a"
print(dateFormatt.string(from: exactDate as Date))

OBJ - C: Use dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:,

NSDate *date = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:timeStamp];

SWIFT: Use init(timeIntervalSince1970:)

let date = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970:timeStamp)

You can use the use the method dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970: to convert the timestamp you've which is the epoch time.

NSDate * myDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:1308031456];
