在swift中，您可以在NSDate中添加扩展方法

extension NSDate {
    func addNoOfDays(noOfDays:Int) -> NSDate! {
        let cal:NSCalendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar()
        cal.timeZone = NSTimeZone(abbreviation: "UTC")!
        let comps:NSDateComponents = NSDateComponents()
        comps.day = noOfDays
        return cal.dateByAddingComponents(comps, toDate: self, options: nil)
    }
}

你可以用这个

NSDate().addNoOfDays(3)

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)

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)

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

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];

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”。
