If you’re requiring 10.6 or greater, you can use one of these methods as well: [[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^{ // do something on the main thread }]; or, alternatively: dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ // do something on the main thread }); This can make things much less of a pain when you need to run a method that takes something other than an object for a parameter, such as stopModalWithCode: (the other options being to write your own method that wraps stopModalWithCode: and run that on the main thread, or use NSInvocation).
