Convert NSNumber representing epoch time to NSDate
Raw
Epoch to NSDate
// Epoch time (or unix time) is the number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970 00:00:00 UTC
// To convert an NSNumber representing epoch time to an NSDate object:
NSNumber *epochTimeOfSomeEvent = [NSNumber numberWithDouble:1357865700];
NSDate * dateOfThatSameEvent = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:epochTimeOfSomeEvent];
// You can then compare this NSDate to the current date to get useful information from it

Passing a NSNumber to the dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970 is wrong.
