  namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qualifiedName 
    attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict {
if([elementName isEqualToString:@"option"]) {

            [dict setValue:[attributeDict objectForKey:@"text"] forKey:@"text"];/* Here itself i need to decode & save in to my dict */

Answer 1

After you have decoded your xml, use stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: method on NSString :

NSString *decoded = [text stringByReplacingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

See the docs here.
