Ios swift – Issue when trying to use split() on formatted time based on space character in iOS 17

When using the split() the current time for example, "10:47 AM" based on space character, I am getting the result as "10:47 AM" itself. The code is as follows:

let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.timeStyle = .short

let scheduleTime = formatter.string(from: scheduleTimePickerDate) // here it is "10:47 AM"

let timeSplitArray_space = scheduleTime.split(separator: " ") // here i am getting "10:47 AM" which means split() didn't work
let timeSplitArray_colon = timeSplitArray_space[0].split(separator: ":")
let lastDigit = timeSplitArray_colon[1].last // here i am getting "M"

The issue happens only in iOS 17. I checked in iOS 16 and it gave correct result when using split().

    It worked when using CharacterSet.whitespaces instead of " " for splitting a string based on space character.

    The code i used is:

    let timeSplitArray_space = time.components(separatedBy: CharacterSet.whitespaces)

    instead of:

    let timeSplitArray_space = scheduleTime.split(separator: " ")

    As stated by @Paulw11 and @HangarRash, it is better to use Date Components to get the minute and hours from a date. Otherwise you will be having format issues. It is an issue with Date formatting which exists in iOS 17.
