NSDate beginning of day and end of day

Question

    -(NSDate *)beginningOfDay:(NSDate *)date
{
    NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
    NSDateComponents *components = [cal components:( NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit ) fromDate:date];

    [components setHour:0];
    [components setMinute:0];
    [components setSecond:0];

    return [cal dateFromComponents:components];

}

-(NSDate *)endOfDay:(NSDate *)date
{
    NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
    NSDateComponents *components = [cal components:(  NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSYearCalendarUnit | NSHourCalendarUnit | NSMinuteCalendarUnit | NSSecondCalendarUnit ) fromDate:date];

    [components setHour:23];
    [components setMinute:59];
    [components setSecond:59];

    return [cal dateFromComponents:components];

}

When I call : [self endOfDay:[NSDate date]]; I get the first of the month ... Why is that? I use this two methods because I need an interval that is from the first second of the first date (beginningOfDay:date1) to the last second of the second date (endOfDay:Date2) ...

Start Of Day / End Of Day — Swift 4

  // Extension

extension Date {
    var startOfDay: Date {
        return Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: self)
    }

    var endOfDay: Date {
        var components = DateComponents()
        components.day = 1
        components.second = -1
        return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: components, to: startOfDay)!
    }

    var startOfMonth: Date {
        let components = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.year, .month], from: startOfDay)
        return Calendar.current.date(from: components)!
    }

    var endOfMonth: Date {
        var components = DateComponents()
        components.month = 1
        components.second = -1
        return Calendar.current.date(byAdding: components, to: startOfMonth)!
    }
}

// End of day = Start of tomorrow minus 1 second
// End of month = Start of next month minus 1 second
