How to get current time in seconds and adds with player duration in Swift?

I want to get the current time in seconds and adds the seconds with player duration and other double value.

Heres the code I tried but didn't work.

let date = Date()
        let calendar = Calendar.current
        let now = calendar.component(.second, from: date)
        let start_time = now + player.duration + (myModel.diff * 60)

The code for myModel.diff

var diff: Double = 1

and when I try this code, I'm getting error saying

Binary operator '+' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Int' and 'TimeInterval' (aka 'Double')

Please help me to solve this issue

You can get your current code to compile by casting now to a Double:

let start_time = Double(now) + player.duration + (myModel.diff * 60)

However, I'm not completely sure what you mean by "current time in seconds." For example, if the current time is 08:00:03, now will be 3. At 08:01:15, it'll be 15 -- if that is your desired result, you're in good shape.

If your desired result is to get a more complete timestamp (seconds since 1970 is common, for example) of the current time, you can use something like:

Date().timeIntervalSince1970

Feel free to clarify your question and I can adjust the answer.
