NSDate current date returning nil

Question

In some scenario, I am getting currentDateString as nil.My app is in live so i can't find out exact scenario.

 NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
 NSCalendar *myCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
 NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
 [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"];
 NSString *currentDateString =  [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currentDate];

"My app is in live so i can't find out exact scenario." If you have a crash log, you should [symbolicate](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25855389/how-to-symbolicate-crash-log-xcode) it. — Tamás Sengel, Oct 09 '17 at 09:11
I have no crash log.For server call am passing current date.But for some, the current date is passing as nil. — divya d, Oct 09 '17 at 09:13
check you current date format is coming as different what your expecting. — AshokPolu, Oct 09 '17 at 09:16
Have you tried setting the TimeZone for your formatter? Set it to current TimzeZone. — John Russel Usi, Oct 09 '17 at 09:17
Yeah, I am getting a correct result too.But in some iPhone from client side we facing that issue.Maybe it may due to phone settings.I tried changing region, calendar type in phone settings but no use. — divya d, Oct 09 '17 at 09:27

I tried this code. I got correct results. Please set DateFormatter Locale

NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setLocale:[NSLocale localeWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US_POSIX"]];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"];
    NSString *currentDateString =  [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currentDate];
