Summary: On iOS 5.1.1, NSDateFormatter fails to parse a specific date string. Steps to Reproduce: NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; formatter.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZZZ"; NSString *dateString = @"2012-03-30 15:45:26.999515-05"; NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString: dateString]; NSLog(@"date: %@", date); Expected Results: date: 2012-03-30 20:45:26 +0000 "dateString" is parsed by the NSDateFormatter, and "date" is not nil. Actual Results: date: (null) "dateString" is not successfully parsed, and "date" is nil. Regression: I encountered this bug using Xcode 4.3.3 (4E3002) using the simulator running iOS 5.1 (9B176). I also tried it on an iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1 (9B206) and saw the same issue. If you change the dateString to @"2012-03-30 15:45:26.899515-05" (a difference of one digit), the date is parsed correctly.
