Brent Hayashi commented on CB-5210:
-----------------------------------
This is still an issue and from testing it looks like when a timezone is
currently in Daylight Savings that iOS adjusts the 'utc_offset' based on the
'dst_offset' while Android does not. Conversely when a timezone is in Standard
Time iOS reports the utc/dst offsets properly while Android still reports a
'dst_offset' of 3600 (1 hour)
The following was output was captured on September 8th at approx 18:00 GMT/UTC
-0 (ie: In Daylight Savings time)
Berlin Timezone (GMT/UTC +2)
iOS: {"pattern":"M/d/yy, h:mm
a","timezone":"GMT+2","utc_offset":7200,"dst_offset":3600}
Android: {"pattern":"M/d/yy h:mm
a","timezone":"GMT+02:00","utc_offset":3600,"dst_offset":3600}
Vancouver, BC Timezone (GMT/UTC -7)
iOS: {"pattern":"M/d/yy, h:mm
a","timezone":"PDT","utc_offset":-25200,"dst_offset":3600}
Android: {"pattern":"M/d/yy h:mm
a","timezone":"PDT","utc_offset":-28800,"dst_offset":3600}
Now notice the difference when I change my date to Nov 23, 2016 (ie: switched
back to Standard Time)
Vancouver, BC Timezone (GMT/UTC - 8)
iOS: {"pattern":"M/d/yy, h:mm
a","timezone":"PST","utc_offset":-28800,"dst_offset":0}
Android: {"pattern":"M/d/yy h:mm
a","timezone":"PST","utc_offset":-28800,"dst_offset":3600}
So I am in a situation where if it is Daylight Savings I have to ignore the
'dst_offset' for iOS and if it is Standard Time I have to ignore the
'dst_offset' for Android. It would be nice if both of these operating systems
could report the same offsets for the same timezones.
> utc_offset is different for Android and iOS in the same timezone

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5210
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, iOS
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Environment: iOS 6.0.1, Android 4.2.2
> Reporter: Ewan Summers
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Labels: features
>
> If you set both phones to the EST timezone (or any negative timezone) you'll
> notice that the values for utc_offset in a call to
> navigator.globalization.getDatePattern don't match for iOS and Android.
> However I briefly tested with positive offsets and they appeared to be the
> same for both devices.
