iOS NSCalendarDate Problem

[forrestgrant]

When I set this variable:

NSCalendarDate *calInfo = [NSCalendarDate date];

I get this error when I try to build:

error: 'NSCalendarDate' undeclared (first use in function)

Why is it treating it as a newly declared variable instead of the class that it is?

NSCalenderDate is not supported on the iPhone, you have to use NSDate.

THIS is why Apples development program is a load of crap. Some emulator they have... supporting unavailable Classes.

In that case... Here is what my NSCalendarDate was doing:

	NSCalendarDate *calInfo = [NSCalendarDate date];
	[calInfo setCalendarFormat:@"%y"];

This would set calInfo equal to 08. NSDate does not respond to setCalendarFormat.

Ideas?

I expect you have already worked out that you should be using NSDateFormatter. I agree Apple are being a bit stupid about having classes work in the simulator, and not on the handset. If its any conciliation there deprecating NSCalendarDate in OS X as well.
