[ios] How to validate an e-mail address in swift?

I improved @Azik answer. I allow more special characters which are allowed by guidelines, as well as return a few extra edge cases as invalid.

The group think going on here to only allow ._%+- in the local part is not correct per guidelines. See @Anton Gogolev answer on this question or see below:

The local-part of the email address may use any of these ASCII characters:

  • uppercase and lowercase Latin letters A to Z and a to z;

  • digits 0 to 9;

  • special characters !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~;

  • dot ., provided that it is not the first or last character unless quoted, and provided also that it does not appear consecutively unless quoted (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed but "John..Doe"@example.com is allowed);

  • space and "(),:;<>@[\] characters are allowed with restrictions (they are only allowed inside a quoted string, as described in the paragraph below, and in addition, a backslash or double-quote must be preceded by a backslash); comments are allowed

  • with parentheses at either end of the local-part; e.g. john.smith(comment)@example.com and (comment)[email protected] are both equivalent to [email protected];

The code I use will not allow restricted out of place special characters, but will allow many more options than the majority of answers here. I would prefer more relaxed validation to error on the side of caution.

if enteredText.contains("..") || enteredText.contains("@@") 
   || enteredText.hasPrefix(".") || enteredText.hasSuffix(".con"){
       return false
}

let emailFormat = "[A-Z0-9a-z.!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,64}"
let emailPredicate = NSPredicate(format:"SELF MATCHES %@", emailFormat)     
return emailPredicate.evaluate(with: enteredText)
