Find current country from iPhone device

I have to get the current country in the iPhone settings. Can anyone tell me how to get the current country in iPhone application.

I have to use the current country for parsing the RSS feed in which I need to pass the current country.

Please help me out to find the country .

Thanks in advance.

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: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4152003

NSLocale *locale = [NSLocale currentLocale];
NSString *countryCode = [locale objectForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode];
NSString *country = [locale displayNameForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode value: countryCode];

For devices with SIM card you can use this:

  CTTelephonyNetworkInfo * network_Info = [CTTelephonyNetworkInfo new];
  CTCarrier * carrier = network_Info.subscriberCellularProvider;
  NSString  * countryCode = [carrier.isoCountryCode uppercaseString];

For Swift 4.0,

You can simply use

let countryCode = Locale.current.regionCode

print(countryCode)

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

If you're testing and want to use a different language from your system, it's easiest to change your scheme's Application Language and Application Region options instead of changing the language and region on your device or simulator.

Go to Product->Scheme->Edit Scheme...->Run->Options and choose the Application Language and Application Region you want to test.

From the iOS Documentation: Testing Your Internationalized App

NSTimeZone *gmt = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone];
    
NSLog(@"timezone gmt %@",gmt.abbreviation);

Swift 3.0 latest working code is

if let countryCode = (Locale.current as NSLocale).object(forKey: .countryCode) as? String {
    print(countryCode)
}

Swift 3.0 solution

if let countryCode = (Locale.current as NSLocale).object(forKey: .countryCode) as? String {
            print(countryCode)
        }
