When I create the same code as the instructor I get this format with day, month and year:

However, the instructor with the same exact code gets the month, day and year with a comma between month and year. How do I fix this?

Code:

//
//  ContentView.swift
//  BetterRest
//
//

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View
{
    @State private var wakeUp = Date.now

    var body: some View
    {
        DatePicker("Please enter a date", selection: $wakeUp)
            .labelsHidden()
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider
{
    static var previews: some View
    {
        ContentView()
    }
}

Hi! This just because the first screenshot has different Locale than the second one. In the last one it is US Locale, so that it why you have month first and day second. It depends on settings of your Language and Region.

So how do I fix this? Do I change the region and locale of my Mac or Xcode? How do I do this? Can I fix it in code using swiftui?

Here is the language and region on my Mac:

Cool thanks that work and you can also change the locale of the preview as well. Here are my instructions:

Change system locale on iOS simulator and xcode preview to get the right date format

1. On iOS simulator go to settings and general and change language and region to US for the simulator to work.
2. For the preview go in xcode to product > scheme > edit scheme and change app region to US under options.

or add this to DatePicker

.environment(\.locale, Locale(identifier: "en_US"))
