Answer 1

i think it is date not data
[field setObject:[attributeDict objectForKey:#"date"] forKey:elementName];
updated code
NSMutableDictionary *dic=[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];//creation
[dic setObject:[NSDate date] forKey:#"Today"];//added
NSLog(#"dic is : %# \n\n",dic);

Answer 2

NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
int daysToAdd = 50; // or 60 :-)
NSDate *newDate1 = [now addTimeInterval:60*60*24*daysToAdd];
NSLog(#"Quick: %#", newDate1);
OR
NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
int daysToAdd = 50; // or 60 :-)
// set up date components
NSDateComponents *components = [[[NSDateComponents alloc] init] autorelease];
[components setDay:daysToAdd];
// create a calendar
NSCalendar *gregorian = [[[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar] autorelease];
NSDate *newDate2 = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:now options:0];
NSLog(#"Clean: %#", newDate2);
