How get zipCode from CLPlacemark , I get it always is null? - cllocationmanager

Question

Here's a piece of sample code:
[_geoCoder reverseGeocodeLocation:self.locationManager.location // You can pass aLocation here instead
completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),^ {
// do stuff with placemarks on the main thread
if (placemarks.count == 1) {
CLPlacemark *place = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
// NSLog([place postalCode]);
NSString* addressString1 = [place thoroughfare];
addressString1 = [addressString1 stringByAppendingString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[place.addressDictionary objectForKey:(NSString*)kABPersonAddressZIPKey]]];//
NSLog(#"%#",addressString1);// is null ??
NSlog(#"%#",place.postalCode);//is null ??
//[self performSelectorInBackground:#selector(log) withObject:nil];
}
});
}];

I guess you probably only had a 'bad' coordinate, where no zip code exists. Try the following snippet. It should display various information and the zip code '80802' at the end:
CLLocationCoordinate2D myCoordinates = { 48.167222, 11.586111 };
CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc]initWithLatitude:myCoordinates.latitude longitude:myCoordinates.longitude];
CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:location completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"%d Placemarks %#", placemarks.count, placemarks);
CLPlacemark *place = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"Placemark %#", place);
NSLog(#"Address Dictionary: %#", place.addressDictionary);
NSLog(#"Zip key %#", [place.addressDictionary objectForKey:(NSString *)kABPersonAddressZIPKey]);
}];
Insert different coordinates in the first line and experiment yourself.
