Answer 1

Try the below:

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
dateFormatter.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm";
NSTimeZone *gmtZone = [NSTimeZone timeZoneWithAbbreviation:@"GMT"];
[dateFormatter setTimeZone:gmtZone];
NSString *timeStamp = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];
NSLog(@"%@",timeStamp);

You must rely on an external server to achieve this. There is no built in method other than the ones for recovering the local phones time.

Here is a github project where they try to do exactly this for iOS : https://github.com/jbenet/ios-ntp
