Answer 1

NSMutableDictionary *list = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[list setObject:businessName.text forKey:#"businessName"];
[list setObject:city.text forKey:#"city"];
[list setObject:phone.text forKey:#"phone"];
[list setObject:state.text forKey:#"state"];
[list setObject:street.text forKey:#"street"];
[list setObject:zip.text forKey:#"zip"];
NSMutableArray *listArraySignup = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[listArraySignup addObject:list];

If you want a NSMutableArray with dictionaries, you can do something like this
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity: 10];
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithCapacity: 10];
[dict setObject: #"IBM Business Continuity & Recovery Service" forKey: #"businessName"];
set other objects like this
[array addObject: dict];
[dict release];
Add the other dictionaries like this in the array and you will be good to go :)

Answer 3

There are many ways to do this.
If you were planning on adding these dictionaries dynamically (roughly speaking):
NSMutableArray *dictionaries = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSDictionary *exampleDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"IBM Business Continuity & Recovery Service", #"businessName",
#"Costa Mesa", #"city",
#"[phone]", #"phone",
#"CA", #"state",
#"600 Anton Blvd", #"street",
#"92626", #"zip", nil];
[dictionaries addObject:exampleDict];

Answer 4

with new Objective-C Literals
NSArray *array = #[
#{
#"businessName" : #"IBM Business Continuity & Recovery Service",
#"city" : #"Costa Mesa",
#"phone" : #"[phone]",
#"state" : #"CA",
#"street" : #"600 Anton Blvd",
#"zip" : #(92626)
},
#{
#"businessName" : #"IBM Sanno",
#"city" : #"Lomita",
#"phone" : #"[phone]",
#"state" : #"CA",
#"street" : #"25835 Appian Way",
#"zip" : #(90717)
},
#{
#"businessName" : #"Ewert's IBM Typewriter Service",
#"phone" : #"[phone]"
}
];

Answer 5

try this one, use NSDictionary
