你可以使用NSDate的方法- (id)dateByAddingTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval)秒，其中秒为60 * 60 * 24 = 86400

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 3.0非常简单的实现将是:

func dateByAddingDays(inDays: Int) -> Date {
    let today = Date()
    return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: inDays, to: today)!
}

Swift 4，如果你真正需要的是24小时轮班(60*60*24秒)而不是“1个日历天”

未来: let dayAhead = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: TimeInterval(86400.0))

过去: let dayAgo = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: TimeInterval(-86400.0))

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
