I want get my Current City name in my iPhone App.

I'm currently getting the latitude and longitude using CLLocationManager and than i am passing my coordinates into CLGeocoder.

    CLGeocoder * geoCoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
    [geoCoder reverseGeocodeLocation:location completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
        for (CLPlacemark * placemark in placemarks) {
            UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Current City" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Your Current City:%@",[placemark locality]] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:@"Cancel", nil];
            [alert  show];
        }  
    }];

This is working fine in iOS 5.0 but not working in iOS 4.3.

As an alternative, I started using the Google Web service

-(void)findLocationFor:(NSString *)latitudeStr 
          andLontitude:(NSString *)longtitudeStr{
    if ([self connectedToWiFi]){
        float latitude  = [latitudeStr floatValue];
        float longitude = [longtitudeStr floatValue];
        NSMutableDictionary *parameters = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: 
                                           [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f,%f", latitude, longitude], @"latlng", nil];
        NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json"]];
        [parameters setValue:@"true" forKey:@"sensor"];
        [parameters setValue:[[NSLocale currentLocale] objectForKey:NSLocaleLanguageCode] forKey:@"language"];
        NSMutableArray *paramStringsArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[[parameters allKeys] count]];

        for(NSString *key in [parameters allKeys]) {
            NSObject *paramValue = [parameters valueForKey:key];
            [paramStringsArray addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@=%@", key, paramValue]];
        }

        NSString *paramsString =

I found this code and it worked for me: https://gist.github.com/flyworld/4222448.

Just change placemark.ISOcountryCode to placemark.locality.
