                         "xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" \n"
                     "xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" \n" 
                     "xmlns:SOAP-ENC=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\" \n"
                     "SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\" \n"
                     "xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"> \n"
                     "<SOAP-ENV:Body> \n"
                     "<XMLGetReportParameters xmlns=\"http://PlusDiagnostics.Schemas.GetReportParameters\"><UserName xmlns="">USERNAME</UserName><Password xmlns="">PASSWORD</Password><List xmlns="">All</List></XMLGetReportParameters>" 
                     "</SOAP-ENV:Body> \n"
                     "</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>" ];

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://pathflexstage.plusdx.com/MobileReporting/GetPathologyReports.svc"];
    NSMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    NSString *msgLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [Message length]];
    NSLog(@"message length is %d",[Message length]);

    [theRequest addValue: @"text/xml; charset=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    [theRequest addValue: msgLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
    [theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    [theRequest addValue: @"http://tempuri.org/IGetPathologyReports/GetReports" forHTTPHeaderField:@"soapAction"];

    [theRequest setHTTPBody: [Message dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:theRequest returningResponse:nil error:nil] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    // NSLog("return");
    NSLog(@"%@",returnString);

    [super viewDidLoad];
}

You will be receiving something back from the server, possibly an error.

Declare the following;

NSURLResponse *response = nil; 
NSError *error = nil;

…and then make your request like so;

NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:theRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

…if you then inspect response and error, you should be able to find the route of you problem.
