Have you looked into The spec for date formatting?
It is seriously helpful. It's some ISO document.
Specify the format at which the date is coming in and it should convert.
I will send you my crappy routines for this for iOS.

I need to convert that to an NSDate object so I can then display it however the user wants, or compare it to now, and such. However, that's a really useful page (I love NSHipster) and I'll save it for another project I'm thinking about where data detectors will be useful.
