Datepicker picks wrong date

This is fine because the date picker uses its local time but it stores UTC time. It means your local time offset is -5h. You can do as follow to extract the right date and time from it:

extension NSDate {
    var localizedDescription: String {
       return descriptionWithLocale(NSLocale.currentLocale()) ?? ""
    }
}

println(chosenDate.localizedDescription)

---

Swift 3 or later

extension Date {
    var localizedDescription: String {
        return description(with: .current)
    }
}

---

Date().localizedDescription  // "Monday, October 16, 2017 at 2:24:11 AM Brasilia Summer Time"

Swift 3.0 - If You want to get a result in date format then use the following code.

extension Date {

    var convertedDate:Date {

        let dateFormatter = DateFormatter();

        let dateFormat = "dd MMM yyyy";
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = dateFormat;
        let formattedDate = dateFormatter.string(from: self);

        dateFormatter.locale = NSLocale.current;
        dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "GMT+0:00");

        dateFormatter.dateFormat = dateFormat as String;
        let sourceDate = dateFormatter.date(from: formattedDate as String);

        return sourceDate!;
    }
}

print(pickerView.date.convertedDate)
