I thought I had found a great bit of code for validating an email address using regular expressions,

Code: 
- (BOOL)isValidEmail:(NSString*)myEmail 
{
	NSString *emailRegEx = @"[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}"; 
	NSPredicate *emailTest = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF MATCHES %@", emailRegEx]; 
	//Valid email address 
	return ([emailTest evaluateWithObject:myEmail]) ;
}

But then I found out NSPredicate does not work on the phone (only the simulator).

Has anyone by chance written working code to validate an email address on the iPhone?
