'What is timezone format and how to convert it to a normal abbreviation in Swift?
I am working on an iOS app and after networking, I get JSON back with a timezone property formatted as some kind of number. Here is a picture
What is that number for timezone and how do I convert it something I can use in my app like "GMT" for example?
Solution 1:[1]
32400 (seconds) is the equivalent of 9 hours.
You get a TimeZone instance with
TimeZone(secondsFromGMT: timezone)
which is GMT+0900
However you cannot get the identifier like JST just from the seconds because there are multiple identifiers for the same amount of seconds.
