You can use a formatter like this:

Assume the existance of some NSDate and do this:

        NSGregorianDateFormatter formatter = new NSGregorianDateFormatter();

        try {
            myDate = (NSDate)formatter.objectValueForString(string);
        } catch (NSFormatter.ParsingException e) {
            myDate = null;
        }
