JSON Geocoding for iOS - parse latitude/longitude to address - ios

Question

I am trying to create an autocomplete addresses suggestion using JSON.
The problem that I am facing is that I can get the latitude and longitude from a the user types on the UISearchDisplay. However I am trying to parse this data to addresses names. I was trying to use reverse geocoding from Apple but with no success. I am receiving only one value.
I was using apple geocoding straight away but the results were not what I was expecting.
Here is the code:
- (BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString{
NSError *error;
NSString *lookUpString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=%#&sensor=true", self.searchBar.text];
lookUpString = [lookUpString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#" " withString:#"+"];
NSData *jsonResponse = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:lookUpString]];
NSDictionary *jsonDict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonResponse options:kNilOptions error:&error];
self.locationArray = [[[jsonDict valueForKey:#"results"] valueForKey:#"geometry"] valueForKey:#"location"];
int total = self.locationArray.count;
for (int i = 0; i < total - 1; i++)
{
NSLog(#"locationArray count: %d", self.locationArray.count);
NSArray *localLocations;
localLocations = [self.locationArray objectAtIndex:i];
NSLog(#"%d",i);
NSString *latitudeString = [localLocations valueForKey:#"lat"];
NSString *longitudeString = [localLocations valueForKey:#"lng"];
NSLog(#"LatitudeString:%# & LongitudeString:%#", latitudeString, longitudeString);
NSString *statusString = [jsonDict valueForKey:#"status"];
NSLog(#"JSON Response Status:%#", statusString);
double latitude = 0.0;
double longitude = 0.0;
latitude = [latitudeString doubleValue];
longitude = [longitudeString doubleValue];
CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:latitude longitude:longitude];
[self.geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:location completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error){
[[self placemarks] addObject:placemarks];
NSLog(#"PLACEMARKS %d", self.placemarks.count);
}];
}
NSLog(#"Mutable array %d", self.placemarks.count);
[self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView reloadData];
return NO;
}
The NSLog(#"PLACEMARKS %d", self.placemarks.count); only display once, in the end of the task.
Any suggestions?

I really was doing so much more than the necessary.
Here is my code now:
- (BOOL)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller shouldReloadTableForSearchString:(NSString *)searchString{
NSError *error;
NSString *lookUpString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=%#&components=country:AU&sensor=false", self.searchBar.text];
lookUpString = [lookUpString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#" " withString:#"+"];
NSData *jsonResponse = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:lookUpString]];
NSDictionary *jsonDict = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonResponse options:kNilOptions error:&error];
self.locationArray = [[jsonDict valueForKey:#"results"] valueForKey:#"geometry"];
int total = self.locationArray.count;
NSLog(#"locationArray count: %d", self.locationArray.count);
for (int i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
NSString *statusString = [jsonDict valueForKey:#"status"];
NSLog(#"JSON Response Status:%#", statusString);
NSLog(#"Address: %#", [self.locationArray objectAtIndex:i]);
}
[self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView reloadData];
return NO;
}
