Location Services not returning close places - ios

Question

I'm using a code which I will post after this to return the closest places based on what the user types in a UITextField using a natural language query. I store all the places in an array and that pass that array to the next scene (a UITableViewController) in prepareForSegue. Than I use the array to load all the places. On the simulator, it shows all the default locations that Apple has which makes sense. But then, I test it out on a real iPhone and despite enabling location services for the app, I still get default locations. I tried again and again but I could not get actual results. It worked once a few weeks ago, but since then it has stopped. Any ideas? Here is the code:
- (void) performSearch {
NSLog(_searchLabel.text);
MKLocalSearchRequest *request =
[[MKLocalSearchRequest alloc] init];
request.naturalLanguageQuery = _searchLabel.text;
_foundPlaces = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
_foundPlacesD = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
//NSLog(_place);
MKLocalSearch *search =
[[MKLocalSearch alloc]initWithRequest:request];
[search startWithCompletionHandler:^(MKLocalSearchResponse
*response, NSError *error) {
if (response.mapItems.count == 0)
NSLog(#"No Matches");
else{
for (MKMapItem *item in response.mapItems)
{
NSString *n = item.name;
[_foundPlaces addObject:n];
NSLog(n);
MKDirectionsRequest *dr = [MKDirectionsRequest new];
MKMapItem *source = [MKMapItem mapItemForCurrentLocation];
[dr setSource:source];
[dr setDestination:item];
MKDirections *directions = [[MKDirections alloc]initWithRequest:dr];
[directions calculateDirectionsWithCompletionHandler:^(MKDirectionsResponse *mresponse, NSError *error) {
if(mresponse.routes.count == 0){
NSLog(#"No routes");
}
else{
for(MKRoute *route in mresponse.routes){
CLLocationDistance d = route.distance/1000;
NSString *dText = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%g kilometers", d];
[_foundPlacesD addObject:dText];
NSLog(dText);
}
}
}];
}
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"locationResults" sender:self];
}
}];
}

I believe I fixed it. The error was that the segue was being performed outside the completion, when it should be performed inside.
