Man, I thought I had this all working, and after a few days of doing other stuff, it is back to my original issue. I am now updating my textfield as follows, so no matter from where it is called, it will always be updated on the main thread:
- (void)updateStatus: (NSString *)status { NSLog(@"%@", status); [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector( updateStatusWrapper:) withObject: status waitUntilDone: YES]; } -(void)updateStatusWrapper: (NSString *) status { self.progressStatus = status; } Again, all the logs get displayed, so I know updateStatus: is called, but again, in the parseData part, the string is not updated. For whatever reason, updateStatusWrapper: doesn't get called. I also tried YES and NO for waitUntilDone. Any ideas what I am (still) missing? - Koen.
