Find current country from iPhone device
Solution 1
To find the country of the user's chosen language:
NSLocale *currentLocale = [NSLocale currentLocale]; // get the current locale.
NSString *countryCode = [currentLocale objectForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode];
// get country code, e.g. ES (Spain), FR (France), etc.
In Swift:
let currentLocale = NSLocale.currentLocale()
let countryCode = currentLocale.objectForKey(NSLocaleCountryCode) as? String
If you want to find the country code of the current timezone, see @chings228's answer.
If you want to find the country code of the device's physical location, you will need CoreLocation with reverse geocoding. See this question for detail: How can I get current location from user in iOS
Solution 2
NSLocale *locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
NSString *countryCode = [locale objectForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode];
NSString *country = [locale displayNameForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode value: countryCode];
Solution 3
For devices with SIM card you can use this:
CTTelephonyNetworkInfo * network_Info = [CTTelephonyNetworkInfo new];
CTCarrier * carrier = network_Info.subscriberCellularProvider;
NSString * countryCode = [carrier.isoCountryCode uppercaseString];
Solution 4
For Swift 4.0,
You can simply use
let countryCode = Locale.current.regionCode
print(countryCode)
Solution 5
NSLocale *countryLocale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
NSString *countryCode = [countryLocale objectForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode];
NSString *country = [countryLocale displayNameForKey:NSLocaleCountryCode value:countryCode];
NSLog(@"Country Code:%@ Name:%@", countryCode, country);
//Country Code:IN Name:India
