Check out this utility: https://github.com/Alterplay/APTimeZones.

It gets NSTimeZone from CLLocation.

Well this can be done like this

For Example I have made a code to get the timezone.

NSTimeZone *localTime = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
NSLog(@" - current  local timezone  is  %@",localTime);

I am getting an output as follows - current local timezone is Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30) offset 19800

So I got the whole timezone. What I do now in this is add this in an NSString. Then use the property of the NSString class componentsSeparatedByString to get the "/" operator.

The full code is as follows :-

    NSTimeZone *localTime = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
    NSLog(@" - current  local timezone  is  %@",localTime);
    NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",localTime];
    NSArray *arr = [str componentsSeparatedByString:@"/"];
    NSString *strHi = [arr objectAtIndex:0];
    NSLog(@"%@",strHi);

According to this code you would get the value of strHi as Asia.

Hope this helps .
