[NSString stringWithContentsOfFile: encoding: error] will read your csv file.
Once you have your file into a NSString you can use componentsSeparatedByString: to split it as you need. For example, to split it into an array based on line feeds:

NSArray *lines = [csvString componentsSeparatedByString:@"\r\n"];

Hope that helps.
