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)

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;
}

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)

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)

使用以下代码:

NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
int daysToAdd = 1;
NSDate *newDate1 = [now dateByAddingTimeInterval:60*60*24*daysToAdd];

As

addTimeInterval

现在已弃用。
