Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

NSTimeZone *gmt = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone];

NSLog(@"timezone gmt %@",gmt.abbreviation);
