As per documentation CLGeocoder does not work below iOS5. You need to take another route to support iOS4 and iOS5 both.

You can look at MKReverseGeocoder, however it is deprecated in iOS5 but still will serve the purpose. For confirmation you can check so called question

+(NSString *)getAddressFromLatLon:(double)pdblLatitude withLongitude:(double)pdblLongitude
{
    NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=%f,%f&output=csv",pdblLatitude, pdblLongitude];
    NSError* error;
    NSString *locationString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString] encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:&error];
    locationString = [locationString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\"" withString:@""];
    return [locationString substringFromIndex:6];
}

You can use this function for getting address from latitude, longitude. You can change according to requirement. We put this as Class method so we can directly use it as

NSString *strAddressFromLatLong = [CLassName getAddressFromLatLon:37.484848 withLongitude:74.48489];

EDIT

Please stop using above function as it has stopped working reported in comments (Not tested by me). I recommend to start using SVGeocoder
