Find current country from iPhone device

Question

I have to get the current country in the iPhone settings. Can anyone tell me how to get the current country in iPhone application.

I have to use the current country for parsing the RSS feed in which I need to pass the current country.

Please help me out to find the country .

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

To find the country of the user's chosen language:

NSLocale *currentLocale = [NSLocale currentLocale];  // get the current locale. NSString *countryCode = [currentLocale objectForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode]; // get country code, e.g. ES (Spain), FR (France), etc. 

In Swift:

let currentLocale = NSLocale.currentLocale() let countryCode = currentLocale.objectForKey(NSLocaleCountryCode) as? String 

If you want to find the country code of the current timezone, see @chings228's answer.

If you want to find the country code of the device's physical location, you will need CoreLocation with reverse geocoding. See this question for detail: How can I get current location from user in iOS
