An iPhone doesn’t just have one IP address, it has a set of network interfaces each of which has a (possibly empty) set of IPv4 addresses and a (possibly empty) set of IPv6 addresses. You can get this information by calling

getifaddrs

.

My experience is that most folks who ask this question are not prepared to deal with the complexity of the answer. If you post more details about what you plan to do with this “IP address”, I should be able to offer more concrete advice.
