NSDateFormatter uses the Unicode Date Format Patterns.

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZZ"];

NSDate *date = [dateFormatter dateFromString:stringDate ];
[dateFormatter release];

Try this

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"eee, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZZ"];
NSDate *dateFromString = [[NSDate alloc] init] ;
dateFromString = [dateFormatter dateFromString:str];
[dateFormatter release];

Line 1 leaks (no release or autorelease), line 3 "double leaks" (alloc & retain, no release or autorelease). – Sveinung Kval Bakken Mar 15 '12 at 07:17
