使用下面的函数，并使用days参数来获取日期daysAhead/daysBehind，只需将参数传递为正，表示未来日期，为负，表示之前日期:

+ (NSDate *) getDate:(NSDate *)fromDate daysAhead:(NSUInteger)days
{
    NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
    dateComponents.day = days;
    NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
    NSDate *previousDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents
                                                     toDate:fromDate
                                                    options:0];
    [dateComponents release];
    return previousDate;
}

Swift 4.0(在这个精彩的答案中与Swift 3.0相同，只是为了让像我这样的新手清楚)

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

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);

在斯威夫特

var dayComponenet = NSDateComponents()
dayComponenet.day = 1

var theCalendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
var nextDate = theCalendar.dateByAddingComponents(dayComponenet, toDate: NSDate(), options: nil)

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。

基于highmaintenance的回答和vikingosegundo的评论，一个工作的Swift 3+实现。这个日期扩展也有额外的选项来改变年，月和时间:

extension Date {

    /// Returns a Date with the specified amount of components added to the one it is called with
    func add(years: Int = 0, months: Int = 0, days: Int = 0, hours: Int = 0, minutes: Int = 0, seconds: Int = 0) -> Date? {
        let components = DateComponents(year: years, month: months, day: days, hour: hours, minute: minutes, second: seconds)
        return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: components, to: self)
    }

    /// Returns a Date with the specified amount of components subtracted from the one it is called with
    func subtract(years: Int = 0, months: Int = 0, days: Int = 0, hours: Int = 0, minutes: Int = 0, seconds: Int = 0) -> Date? {
        return add(years: -years, months: -months, days: -days, hours: -hours, minutes: -minutes, seconds: -seconds)
    }

}

如果按照OP的要求只增加一天，则用法如下:

let today = Date() // date is then today for this example
let tomorrow = today.add(days: 1)
