我也有同样的问题;使用NSDate扩展:

- (id)dateByAddingYears:(NSUInteger)years
                 months:(NSUInteger)months
                   days:(NSUInteger)days
                  hours:(NSUInteger)hours
                minutes:(NSUInteger)minutes
                seconds:(NSUInteger)seconds
{
    NSDateComponents * delta = [[[NSDateComponents alloc] init] autorelease];
    NSCalendar * gregorian = [[[NSCalendar alloc]
                               initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian] autorelease];

    [delta setYear:years];
    [delta setMonth:months];
    [delta setDay:days];
    [delta setHour:hours];
    [delta setMinute:minutes];
    [delta setSecond:seconds];

    return [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:delta toDate:self 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”。

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

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);

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)

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)
