equivalent of LocationManager .onLocationChanged in objective c

I am a newbie with objective c style development. I have an android app which I am trying to convert into an iPhone app.

In the android app I have a LocationManager, LocationListener created, which onLocationChanged() behaves the usual way to give me the updated location, as and when it changes. 

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) this
            .getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    // Define a listener that responds to location updates
    LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
              // some logic here 
         }

   locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
            LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, minTimeInterval, 0,
            locationListener);

I have used the CLLocationManager to generate location information in the ios app 

 self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
if ( [CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled] ) {
    self.locationManager.delegate = self;
    self.locationManager.distanceFilter = 100;
    [self.locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters];
    [self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}

how do I ensure that as and when the location changes this would be called and I would get the new location information. Of course at this point in time I am using the ios simulator and not the iphone hardware, but technically I would want this to work on the iphone too.

any suggestions ?

You have to use CLLocationManager and the CLLocationManagerDelegate protocol. The class which implements CLLocationManagerDelegate gets the new location via method: 

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
