I am trying to get date from firestore. I have DateTime.now() stored in createdIn in firestore.

because the format of both is not the same.

1. step 1: you can create DateFormat.
2. step 2: use 'DateFormat'.parse().

If it's a Timestamp field, cast it to Timestamp. If you need that as a DateTime, use a .toDate on that. Don't process it through a string... completely unnecessary.
