Yeah, that should be fine, but it's unnecessary.
You can just do:
NSArray *objectsArray = [theArray valueForKey:key];
And it'll do pretty much the same thing (except that it'll call -valueForKey: on each item in the array, and not objectForKey:. However, if the objects are NSDictionaries, that's pretty much the same thing).
