title: NSDictionary Not Getting First Item JSON
body: <p>Maybe somebody can help. I am trying to get the location name for the google maps location and latitude in the URL below. As you can see from the JSON that it is first opening the results then the address_components. I am trying to get the first long_name and short_name in the JSON but instead the code I have below is only giving me the last long_name and short_name in the JSON. </p>
  
  <p>Maybe someone has some type of idea, I have tried everything at this stage and nothing seems to solve the issue.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
  
  <p>CurtisB</p>
