Reverse geocoding in Swift 4

CLGeocoder methods are asynchronous. What you would need a completion handler:

import UIKit
import CoreLocation
import PlaygroundSupport
PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true

---

func geocode(latitude: Double, longitude: Double, completion: @escaping (_ placemark: [CLPlacemark]?, _ error: Error?) -> Void)  {
    CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(CLLocation(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)) { placemark, error in
        guard let placemark = placemark, error == nil else {
            completion(nil, error)
            return
        }
        completion(placemark, nil)
    }
}

or simply:

func geocode(latitude: Double, longitude: Double, completion: @escaping (_ placemark: [CLPlacemark]?, _ error: Error?) -> Void)  {
    CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(CLLocation(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude), completionHandler: completion)
}

or extending CLLocation:

extension CLLocation {
    func geocode(completion: @escaping (_ placemark: [CLPlacemark]?, _ error: Error?) -> Void) {
        CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(self, completionHandler: completion)
    }
}

To format your placemark as a mailing address you can use Contacts framework CNPostalAddressFormatter:

import Contacts

extension Formatter {
    static let mailingAddress: CNPostalAddressFormatter = {
        let formatter = CNPostalAddressFormatter()
        formatter.style = .mailingAddress
        return formatter
    }()
}

extension CLPlacemark {
    var mailingAddress: String? {
        postalAddress?.mailingAddress
    }
}

extension CNPostalAddress {
    var mailingAddress: String {
        Formatter.mailingAddress.string(from: self)
    }
}

placemark

Contains an array of CLPlacemark objects. For most geocoding requests, this array should contain only one entry. However, forward-geocoding requests may return multiple placemark objects in situations where the specified address could not be resolved to a single location. If the request was canceled or there was an error in obtaining the placemark information, this parameter is nil.

For more information about the CLPlacemark properties you can check this CLPlacemark

Usage:

let location = CLLocation(latitude: -22.963451, longitude: -43.198242)
location.geocode { placemark, error in
    if let error = error as? CLError {
        print("CLError:", error)
        return
    } else if let placemark = placemark?.first {
        // you should always update your UI in the main thread
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            //  update UI here
            print("name:", placemark.name ?? "unknown")
            
            print("address1:", placemark.thoroughfare ?? "unknown")
            print("address2:", placemark.subThoroughfare ?? "unknown")
            print("neighborhood:", placemark.subLocality ?? "unknown")
            print("city:", placemark.locality ?? "unknown")
            
            print("state:", placemark.administrativeArea ?? "unknown")
            print("subAdministrativeArea:", placemark.subAdministrativeArea ?? "unknown")
            print("zip code:", placemark.postalCode ?? "unknown")
            print("country:", placemark.country ?? "unknown", terminator: "\n\n")
            
            print("isoCountryCode:", placemark.isoCountryCode ?? "unknown")
            print("region identifier:", placemark.region?.identifier ?? "unknown")
    
            print("timezone:", placemark.timeZone ?? "unknown", terminator:"\n\n")

            // Mailind Address
            print(placemark.mailingAddress ?? "unknown")
        }
    }
}
