Answer 1

arrFullSubCategory is an array and you should reach it's elements first. Than you will have NSDictionary objects. After that you can access your category element. So I think your code should be like that:
for (NSInteger i = 0; i < arrFullSubCategory.count; ++i) {
NSInteger tag=[[[arrFullSubCategory objectAtIndex:i] valueForKey:#"category"] integerValue];
}

Answer 2

Explanation of the error:
The error means you have an array, and arrays don't respond to integerValue.
Your variable arrFullSubCategory references an array (of 3 elements), and each element is a dictionary. If you call valueForKey: on an array of dictionaries then the key lookup is performed for each dictionary and an array is constructed for the results. In your case the result (using literal syntax) is the array:
#[ #35, #36, #37 ]
Whether this array is directly useful to you, or whether you should access the array one element at a time - using a loop or method which calls a block per element, etc. - will depend on what your goal is.

Answer 4
