Answer 1

You can use CLGeocoder, from CoreLocation, for that. From Apple documentation (emphasizes mine):

A single-shot object for converting between geographic coordinates and place names.

The CLGeocoder class provides services for converting between a coordinate (specified as a latitude and longitude) and the user-friendly representation of that coordinate. A user-friendly representation of the coordinate typically consists of the street, city, state, and country information corresponding to the given location...

This service is unrelated to MapKit and, as such, don't require you use/show a map in your app at all.
