CLGeocoder only shows nearest apple store? - ios5

Question

Is CLGeocoder just that coarse right now? I was expecting something relatively close to a street address. I'm testing on the 5.1 simulator and using ARC. I made a quick test project right now with the following if that helps:
- (IBAction)getLocationPressed {
if ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled] &&
[CLLocationManager authorizationStatus] == kCLAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) {
[self.geoCoder reverseGeocodeLocation:self.locationManager.location completionHandler:
^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
// Note: there is NO guarantee that the CLGeocodeCompletionHandler will be invoked on the main thread
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),^ {
NSLog(#"placemarks count: %d", [placemarks count]);
CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
// Note: if a poor location is specified, there may be multiple placemarks for the given location
NSString *currentAddress = [[placemark.addressDictionary valueForKey:#"FormattedAddressLines"] componentsJoinedByString:#", "];
NSLog(#"I am currently at %#", currentAddress);
self.locationLabel.text = currentAddress;
});
}];
}
}
#pragma mark - CLLocationManager Delegate Methods
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
// do something...
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
if (error.code == kCLErrorDenied) {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error!"
message:#"this can not work without location services enabled"
delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
}
}
#pragma mark - Lifecycle Methods
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
self.locationManager.purpose = REASON_FOR_USING_LOCATION;
self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;//kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters;
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
Thanks

YESSSS! It turns out that I just wasn't enabling location in the simulator. It actually works if I test it on my device. Here's an example of with the full .m file if it helps anyone. I've set up a couple labels and a rounded rect button that you'll see from the code:
#define REASON_FOR_USING_LOCATION (#"to find the closest widget")
#interface ViewController () <CLLocationManagerDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *locationLabel;
#property (strong, nonatomic) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
#property (strong, nonatomic) CLGeocoder *geoCoder;
#end
#implementation ViewController
#pragma mark - Getters/Setters
#synthesize locationLabel = _locationLabel;
#synthesize locationManager = _locationManager;
#synthesize geoCoder = _geoCoder;
// lazily instantiate as required
- (CLGeocoder *)geoCoder {
if (!_geoCoder) _geoCoder = [CLGeocoder new];
return _geoCoder;
}
- (CLLocationManager *)locationManager {
if (!_locationManager) _locationManager = [CLLocationManager new];
return _locationManager;
}
#pragma mark - Target/Action Methods

[self.geoCoder reverseGeocodeLocation:self.locationManager.location completionHandler:

// Note: there is NO guarantee that the CLGeocodeCompletionHandler will be invoked on the main thread
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),^ {
NSLog(#"placemarks count: %d", [placemarks count]);
CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
// Note: if a poor location is specified, there may be multiple placemarks for the given location
NSString *currentAddress = [[placemark.addressDictionary valueForKey:#"FormattedAddressLines"] componentsJoinedByString:#", "];
NSLog(#"I am currently at %#", currentAddress);
self.locationLabel.text = currentAddress;
