Different NSTimeZone names being returned
- by Michael Waterfall
I've noticed that on some devices the NSTimeZone's name method for a particular timezone can return different values. When testing the Brisbane time zone, my device returns @"Australia/Brisbane" whereas another user's device returns "Etc/GMT-10". Both iPhone's are running 3.1.2.
The Date and Time Programming Guide for Cocoa states that:
timeZoneWithName: The name passed to this method may be in any of the
formats understood by the system, for
example EST, Etc/GMT-2,
America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires,
Europe/Monaco, or US/Pacific, as shown
in the following code fragment.
I'd just like to know what could determine which value is used? The device? The language?
