How do I get the current date in Cocoa

You have problems with iOS 4.2?
Use this Code:

NSDate *currDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd.MM.YY HH:mm:ss"];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:currDate];
NSLog(@"%@",dateString);
