How to print the value of groupcontestList

Answer 1

For(Product* prod in groupContent){
    NSLog(@"type=%@ name=%@", prod.type, prod.name);
}

Answer 2

You can retrieve a string representing NSArray contents with -description method. This is implicitely used with:

NSLog(@"%@", groupContentList);

It will in turn invoque -description method on each of its elements (which defaults to printing address of object as defined in NSObject).

So if you want it to be usable, you have to define a -description method for your Product class.
