Getting street names in iOS

I need to offer users a way to type an address in an UITextField with an autocompletion functionality as user is introducing the text. I've been looking for the best way to implement this, but I'm still not sure: is it possible to get a list of street names for a certain city? Or should I being provided such information in another and custom way (service request, a file with that information...)?
My application is for iOS 7+
Thanks

How do I get to Google Code Playground?

I use to be able to get to Google Code Playground page.
As discussed in
A guide to Google Code PlayGround
Its a web-based tool that lets web developers try out all of the APIs that Google provides, tweak the code, and see the results, I found it very useful.
But now when I try, I get redirected to API Explorer!
Has anyone got any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know why they changed it, but probably you will need to go to the specific API/product you're looking for and search there.
For example, I used to teach the Visualization APIs with the playground, but these seem to have been reclassified as a chart "product" with the interactive code editing now hosted through JSFiddle:
https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery
Good luck (re)locating what you're looking for.

MKMapView - How to load all default Apple annotations

I am developing a app that is going to use a map. I was wondering how to load all the POIs that already appear on the default Apple's map app?
Cheers
There's at least no built in functionality in MapKit. You'll have to use Google's webservices to fetch those POIs (like Places API). You should have a look at the Google Places API Web Services!
I'm not sure why your question was voted down, I guess you need to do some self-research before posting any questions. A lot of times, similar questions have been asked. You just need to look.
Hope this helps.

iOS: Google Calendar Example

Searching around the net for almost 1 day I still did not see any simple good example of an app that implements the Google Calendar API. Or even simple explanation on how to implement the API is still not available. Can someone help me please? I'm a newbie to iOS. I need to learn how to create an event using the Google Calendar API through my app in iOS. I need a sample simple code...
Here are some very useful links when trying to figure out the google calendar api. http://code.google.com/p/gdata-objectivec-client/wiki/GDataObjCIntroduction and mainly http://code.google.com/p/iphone-gcal/. I just downloaded the source code from the second link and worked from there. It was great!
The Google Calendar API, like most Google API's, provides a straightforward REST interface. Instead of focussing first on how to create calendar events, learn how to interact with a RESTful web service. Once you know how to do that, you only have to learn what calls to make to accomplish your goal, and that's already well documented.

Integrating a google map into rails

Has anyone got any suggestions on where to start with building a google map into a rails app? I would like users to be able to add a marker by clicking the map, and have spent a few days looking for a suitable tutorial or plugin (beyond ym4r), to little avail...any help would be much appreciated as I am finding the Google Maps API rather difficult to get into! I've also come across the railskit for google maps - does anyone have any experience in using it?
Just fyi, I made https://rubygems.org/gems/gmaps4rails which is a useful wrapper with several options.
I probably wouldn't use YM4R. We tried it and found that it doesn't add much value because it just wraps the API. I would recommend working with Google Maps directly from JavaScript. Google Maps API documentation is pretty good, and there are quite a few examples on the web.
There is an example of a click handler on the map here, and adding a marker is just a matter of doing
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(latlng));
