NSCharacterSet* uppercaseCharSet = [NSCharacterSet uppercaseLetterCharacterSet];
if ([theString rangeOfCharacterFromSet:uppercaseCharSet].location == NSNotFound)
  return NO;

NSCharacterSet* lowercaseCharSet = [NSCharacterSet lowercaseLetterCharacterSet];
if ([theString rangeOfCharacterFromSet:lowercaseCharSet].location == NSNotFound)
  return NO;

NSCharacterSet* digitsCharSet = [NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet];
if ([theString rangeOfCharacterFromSet:digitsCharSet].location == NSNotFound)
  return NO;

return YES;

This method is Unicode-aware. If by "Upper case charecter" you just mean A-Z, use

NSCharacterSet* uppercaseCharSet =
    [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithRange:NSMakeRange('A', 26)];

and similar for the other two.
