ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONI’m using Xcode version 11.3.1 and Catalina version 10.15.1. These are not the latest versions but updating Xcode requires the latest version of Catalina and when I try to update Catalina it reports that my version is up to date. This is a separate issue that I have reported but no resolution at this time.Notice the comments for the following code: let date = Date(). // always returns time in 12 hour format let calendar = Calendar.autoupdatingCurrent let hour = calendar.component(.hour, from: date). // always returns time in 24 hour formatIf I can read the current system settings for clock, I can adjust the hour to match the current system settings for clock.I have read that the following code can be used to determine the clock setting.let dateFormat = DateFormatter.dateFormat (fromTemplate: "j",options:0, locale: Locale.current)However, dateFormat is always set to “j” regardless of the system settings for clock.If anyone knows of a property that can be accessed for 12/24 hour in system setting I would appreciate knowing it.Thanks
