Answer 1

Use TimeZone.current to detect local timezone and apply it.

let formatter = DateFormatter()
// initially set the format based on your datepicker date
var localTimeZoneAbbreviation: String { return TimeZone.current.abbreviation() ?? "UTC" }
//print(localTimeZoneAbbreviation)
formatter.locale = Locale.init(identifier: localTimeZoneAbbreviation)
// convert your string to date
let yourDate = formatter.date(from: strDate)
//then again set the date format which type of output you need

In your function :

func convertStringDateFormateUTC(strDate: String,
                                 strCurrentFormateType:String, strFormateType:String) -> String {
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = strCurrentFormateType

    var localTimeZoneAbbreviation: String { return TimeZone.current.abbreviation() ?? "UTC" }
    dateFormatter.locale = Locale.init(identifier: localTimeZoneAbbreviation)

    var strNewdate = NSDate()
    strNewdate = dateFormatter.date(from: strDate)! as NSDate
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = strFormateType;
    dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.init(abbreviation: "UTC")
    return dateFormatter.string(from: strNewdate as Date)
}
