从iOS 8开始，你可以使用NSCalendar.dateByAddingUnit

Swift 1.x中的示例:

let today = NSDate()
let tomorrow = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
    .dateByAddingUnit(
         .CalendarUnitDay, 
         value: 1, 
         toDate: today, 
         options: NSCalendarOptions(0)
    )

斯威夫特2.0:

let today = NSDate()
let tomorrow = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
    .dateByAddingUnit(
        .Day, 
        value: 1, 
        toDate: today, 
        options: []
    )

斯威夫特3.0:

let today = Date()
let tomorrow = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: today)

斯威夫特4.0

extension Date {
    func add(_ unit: Calendar.Component, value: Int) -> Date? {
        return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: unit, value: value, to: self)
    }
}

使用

date.add(.day, 3)!   // adds 3 days
date.add(.day, -14)!   // subtracts 14 days

注意:如果你不知道为什么代码行以感叹号结尾，可以在谷歌上查找“Swift optional”。

在Swift 2.1.1和xcode 7.1 OSX 10.10.5中，你可以使用函数添加任意数量的天数

func addDaystoGivenDate(baseDate:NSDate,NumberOfDaysToAdd:Int)->NSDate
{
    let dateComponents = NSDateComponents()
    let CurrentCalendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
    let CalendarOption = NSCalendarOptions()

    dateComponents.day = NumberOfDaysToAdd

    let newDate = CurrentCalendar.dateByAddingComponents(dateComponents, toDate: baseDate, options: CalendarOption)
    return newDate!
}

函数调用，将当前日期增加9天

var newDate = addDaystoGivenDate(NSDate(), NumberOfDaysToAdd: 9)
print(newDate)

函数调用，将当前日期减少80天

newDate = addDaystoGivenDate(NSDate(), NumberOfDaysToAdd: -80)
 print(newDate)

NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:now];
NSDate *startDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
NSLog(@"StartDate = %@", startDate);

components.day += 1;
NSDate *endDate = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
NSLog(@"EndDate = %@", endDate);

只是为了好玩，通过一些扩展和操作符重载，你可以得到一些不错的东西，比如:

let today = Date()
let tomorrow = today + 1.days

, or

var date = Date()
date += 1.months

下面是支持代码:

extension Calendar {
    struct ComponentWithValue {
        let component: Component
        let value: Int
    }
}

extension Int {
    var days: Calendar.ComponentWithValue {
        .init(component: .day, value: self)
    }
    
    var months: Calendar.ComponentWithValue {
        .init(component: .month, value: self)
    }
}

func +(_ date: Date, _ amount: Calendar.ComponentWithValue) -> Date {
    Calendar.current.date(byAdding: amount.component, value: amount.value, to: date)!
}

func +(_ amount: Calendar.ComponentWithValue, _ date: Date) -> Date {
    date + amount
}

func +=(_ date: inout Date, _ amount: Calendar.ComponentWithValue) {
    date = date + amount
}

代码是最少的，并且可以很容易地扩展到允许.月，.年，.小时等。还可以无缝添加对减法(-)的支持。

虽然在+操作符的实现中有一个强制的展开，但是不确定在哪种情况下日历可以返回nil日期。

斯威夫特5

let today = Date()
let nextDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: today)

objective - c

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
// now build a NSDate object for the next day
NSDateComponents *offsetComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[offsetComponents setDay:1];
NSDate *nextDate = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:offsetComponents toDate: [NSDate date] options:0];
