Yes, sorry for the noise.
I was adding 7 days to today and got 1. of March but expected 1. of April. (see my post about adding days).

Turns out that NSCalendarWrapComponents = “Specifies that the operation should use arithmetic for calendar addition.” is the wrong choice.
Without using “arithmetic" (instead using divination ?) I get the expected result.

Kind regards

Gerriet.
