        NSLog(@"%@", dict[@"id"]);
        break;
    }

You can loop thru the Array and find the matching entry - value you are looking for. Then get its key.

for (NSDictionary*dic in array)
{  
   NSString * name  = dic[@"name"];

   if([name isEqual:currentSelectedName])
   {
       NSString * id = dic[@"id"];

       NSLog(@"id is : %@",id);

  }
