Most of the mobileSomething are wrappers around the system functions so you can learn a lot by reading the ios developer documentation as most of the functions started there. And reading the docs I can see that you probably get a CLLocationCoordinate2D from the system and that is in turn two doubles in the WGS 84 system. I.e. you get a float for longitude and latitude.
I have code for distance calculation somewhere, that I built for a Quiz walk app, that I made for my sons birthday party several years ago. If you are interested I can dig it up. I remember that the biggest problem was not calculating the distance it was translating lat long to some meaningful x,y coordinate.
