An utility for iOS and OSX developers to simplify extracting NSTimeZone from a given CLLocation.

You can do the same job by calling Google API or Yahoo API but APTimeZones works locally, offline and with no limits inherented to hosted solutions.

###Usage:

//Ukraine location
CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:50.449846
                                                  longitude:30.523629];
                                                  
NSTimeZone *timeZone = [[APTimeZones sharedInstance] timeZoneWithLocation:location];
NSLog(@"%@", timeZone);

You can use APTimeZones with Apple CLGeocoder as well to receive NSTimeZone for a given city string.

CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
[geocoder geocodeAddressString:@"New York" completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
    if (placemarks.count) {
        CLPlacemark *placemark = placemarks[0];
        CLLocation *location = placemark.location;
        
        NSString *countryCode = placemark.addressDictionary[@"CountryCode"];
        NSTimeZone *timeZone = [[APTimeZones sharedInstance] timeZoneWithLocation:location
                                                                      countryCode:countryCode];
        NSLog(@"%@", timeZone);
    } 
}];
