在Swift 4或Swift 5中，你可以使用like bellow:

let date = Date()
let yesterday = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -1, to: date)
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
let yesterday_date = dateFormatter.string(from: yesterday!)
print("yesterday->",yesterday_date)

输出:

Current date: 2020-03-02
yesterday date: 2020-03-01

简单的Swift扩展昨天和明天从任何日期:

extension Date {
    
    var previousDay: Date {
        Calendar.current.date(byAdding: DateComponents(day:-1), to: self)!
    }
    
    var nextDay: Date {
        Calendar.current.date(byAdding: DateComponents(day:+1), to: self)!
    }
    
}

我在这里根据问题中的建议强制展开可选选项: 何时dateByAddingComponents:toDate:options返回nil?

这是一个通用的方法，它允许您在指定的日期中添加/减去任何类型的单位(年/月/日/小时/秒等)。

使用Swift 2.2

func addUnitToDate(unitType: NSCalendarUnit, number: Int, date:NSDate) -> NSDate {

    return NSCalendar.currentCalendar().dateByAddingUnit(
        unitType,
        value: number,
        toDate: date,
        options: NSCalendarOptions(rawValue: 0))!

}

print( addUnitToDate(.Day, number: 1, date: NSDate()) ) // Adds 1 Day To Current Date
print( addUnitToDate(.Hour, number: 1, date: NSDate()) ) // Adds 1 Hour To Current Date
print( addUnitToDate(.Minute, number: 1, date: NSDate()) ) // Adds 1 Minute To Current Date

// NOTE: You can use negative values to get backward values too

NSDate *today=[NSDate date];
NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier: NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components=[[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
components.day=1;
NSDate *targetDate =[calendar dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:today options: 0];

Swift 5.0:

var dayComponent    = DateComponents()
dayComponent.day    = 1 // For removing one day (yesterday): -1
let theCalendar     = Calendar.current
let nextDate        = theCalendar.date(byAdding: dayComponent, to: Date())
print("nextDate : \(nextDate)")

目标C:

NSDateComponents *dayComponent = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
dayComponent.day = 1;

NSCalendar *theCalendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDate *nextDate = [theCalendar dateByAddingComponents:dayComponent toDate:[NSDate date] options:0];

NSLog(@"nextDate: %@ ...", nextDate);

这应该是不言而喻的。

NSDateComponents *dayComponent = [[[NSDateComponents alloc] init] autorelease];
dayComponent.day = 1;

NSCalendar *theCalendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
dateToBeIncremented = [theCalendar dateByAddingComponents:dayComponent toDate:dateToBeIncremented options:0];

好吧，我以为这对我有用。但是，如果您使用它在2013年3月31日之后添加一天，它将返回一个只添加了23小时的日期。它实际上可能有24小时，但在计算中只添加了23:00小时。

类似地，如果您向前扩展到2013年10月28日，代码将增加25小时，从而导致日期时间为2013-10-28 01:00:00。

为了添加一天，我正在做的事情在顶部，添加:

NSDate *newDate1 = [now dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*daysToAdd];

复杂，主要是由于夏令时。
