date conversion to string xcode - xcode

Question

I'm developing an app which displays start date and end date, but I'm having an issue with date displayed on textfield
everything works fine here:
but when I turn to December 30 2012 in output you can read that says 2012 (Hardcoded) but in textfield it writes 2013 (formatted):
happens the same thing if I try using "All day" option:
gonna share my app code as well for making things easier

You fell in the same trap that Apple did with recent their Do Not Disturb bug. You want to use yyyy in your NSDateFormatter, not YYYY.
