Summary

  • Create an epic app that gives you an epoch time... see what i did there?

What is epoch time?

The Unix epoch (or Unix time or POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z). Literally speaking the epoch is Unix time 0 (midnight 1/1/1970), but 'epoch' is often used as a synonym for 'Unix time'. Many Unix systems store epoch dates as a signed 32-bit integer, which might cause problems on January 19, 2038 (known as the Year 2038 problem or Y2038).

Details

  1. Create a storyboard.
  2. Add in a single ViewController object from the object browser on the bottom right menu to your storyboard.
  3. Drag a UILabel onto your ViewController's view.
  • Set the accessibility label of this UILabel to 'epoch label' and make sure the accessibility enabled box is checked
  1. Drag a UIButton onto your ViewController's view below the UILabel.
  • Set the title of this button to 'Epoch Button!'
  • Set the accessibility label of this UIButton to 'epoch button' and make sure the accessibility enabled box is checked
  1. Create a UIViewController file and call FISEpochViewController.
  2. When you click on the UIButton, the UILabel should update with an epoch time for the moment you hit the button.
  • Implement this functionality inside of a method called epochMethod inside of FISEpochViewController that should look like this: -(double)epochMethod
