[Solved] Calculate time interval to 0.00 of the next day according to GMT in swift or objective-c?


First create a Calendar for the UTC timezone. Second get the startOfDay using the UTC calendar. Third add one day to that date. Then you can useDatemethodtimeIntervalSince(_ Date)` to calculate the amount of seconds between those two dates:

extension Calendar {
    static let iso8601UTC: Calendar = {
        var calendar = Calendar(identifier: .iso8601)
        calendar.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "UTC")!
        return calendar
    }()
}

extension Date {
    var secondsUntilStartOfDayTomorrowAtUTC: TimeInterval {
        return startOfDayTomorrowAtUTC.timeIntervalSince(self)
    }
    var startOfDayTomorrowAtUTC: Date {
        return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: startOfDayAtUTC)!
    }
    var startOfDayAtUTC: Date {
        return Calendar.iso8601UTC.startOfDay(for: self)
    }
}

Playground Testing:

TimeZone.current.secondsFromGMT(for: Date()) / 3600 // -2 hours
Date().startOfDayAtUTC          // "Jan 18, 2018 at 10:00 PM"
let finalDate = Date().startOfDayTomorrowAtUTC  // "Jan 19, 2018 at 10:00 PM"
print(finalDate)  // "2018-01-20 00:00:00 +0000\n"
let seconds = Date().secondsUntilStartOfDayTomorrowAtUTC  // 29282.42592203617
let minutes = seconds / 60   // 488.0404320339362
let hours = seconds / 3600   // 8.134007200565604
