I am using MapKit to do a local search which returns one or more MKMapItem objects. But there are members of the object I can see in the debugger but I can't access. The one I particularly need is UID.
I have tried item.placemark, but it does not let me access the UID. This seems like it should be really simple. What am I missing here?
This does not work: NSString *uid = item.placemark.UID
This does not work:
NSDictionary *mapItemDictionary = (NSDictionary *)item;
NSString *uid = [mapItemDictionary objectForKey:@"UID"];
But the debugger command po item shows me all the members of the object:
Name: Shell CurrentLocation: 0 Place: <GEOPlace: 0x17014e650>
{
address = {
business = (
{
**UID = 2478578482074921045**;
URL = "www.shell.com";
canBeCorrectedByBusinessOwner = 1;
name = Shell;
source = (
{
"source_id" = A3H0281540;
"source_name" = "acxiom_us";
},
{
"source_id" = 2276257;
"source_name" = localeze;
}
);
telephone = "+14803968213";
}
);
Any help with this would be appreciated. Here is the code I'm using:
MKLocalSearch *localSearch = [[MKLocalSearch alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[localSearch startWithCompletionHandler:^(MKLocalSearchResponse *response, NSError *error)
{
[response.mapItems enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(MKMapItem *item, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop)
{
MKPlacemark *placemark = (MKPlacemark *)item.placemark;
NSDictionary *addressDict = placemark.addressDictionary;
NSArray *businessArray = addressDict[@"business"];// businessArray is NIL
NSString *uid=nil;
if (businessArray != nil && businessArray.count >0) {
NSDictionary *businessDict=businessArray[0];
uid=businessDict[@"UID"];
}
NSLog(@"UID is %@",uid);
}];
