Answer 1

Objective-C

+(NSString *) decodeHTMLEnocdedString:(NSString *)htmlEncodedString {
    if (!htmlEncodedString) {
        return nil;
    }

    NSData *data = [htmlEncodedString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSDictionary *attributes = @{NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute:     NSHTMLTextDocumentType,
                             NSCharacterEncodingDocumentAttribute:     @(NSUTF8StringEncoding)};
    NSAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSAttributedString alloc]     initWithData:data options:attributes documentAttributes:nil error:nil];
    return [attributedString string];
}
