Block for performing network activity

[eaigner]

I'd like this to NSObject as a category. Any thoughts?

- (void)performNetworkActivity:(dispatch_block_t)block {
  if (block) {
    UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
    app.networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
    block();
    app.networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
  } 
}

Maybe automatically dispatch the block on another queue too.

Just realized this issue should be regarding iOSKit instead

Sounds good, but wouldn't set networkactivityindicator directly, better to use a counting proxy

[eaigner]

But the block balances the YES and NO automatically so it shouldn't be an issue. Or is it?

If there are more activities going on at the same time the first to finish will deactivate the indicator

Right.
