Unable to set custom NSDateFormatter as the default Transformer

[wolfsokta]

I'm unable to add a date formatter to the list of RKValueTransformers that is utilized when serializing dates because RKObjectMapping's initialize function always overrides it.

Basically in my apps didFinishLaunhcing I have the following code:

   // Update date format so that we can parse dates properly.
   // 2013-11-09 14:51:27 +0000
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [NSDateFormatter new];
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z";
    [[RKValueTransformer defaultValueTransformer] insertValueTransformer:dateFormatter atIndex:0];

Once I commented out the following line my NSDateFormatter was used.
https://github.com/RestKit/RestKit/blob/development/Code/ObjectMapping/RKObjectMapping.m#L140

Am I doing something incorrectly?

I'm also having this issue.
In my case I'm trying to get it to parse "2013-12-31" into local time instead of UTC.

The deprecated "addDefaultDateFormatterForString" worked, and adding an NSDateTransformer works as soon as I add it, but later on in the code, more things have been added to override it.

Not ideal.
