Convert that string to NSDate then use that date with .timeIntervalSince1970, it will produce timestamp in Double

Use this to convert unix time

let timeInterval  = 1415639000 (Your time interval)
let unixTime = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970: timeInterval)

extension String {

  //MARK:UTCStringToDate
  var utcStringToUnix:NSTimeInterval {
    let dateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone(name: "UTC")
     dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"
    let utcDate = dateFormatter.dateFromString(self)
  let unixTime =   utcDate?.timeIntervalSince1970

       return unixTime!
  }
}

use this extension.. to use just : let unix = utcString.utcStringToUnix
