Question

How can i call one method from a NSThread?

i can call one method like below:

[regionsMapView addAnnotation:addAnnotation];

How can i call that in a NSThread?
I have used like below:

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(addAnnotation) 
                         toTarget:regionsMapView 
                       withObject:addAnnotation];

But application crashes with log like below:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '*** -[NSThread initWithTarget:selector:object:]: target does not implement selector (*** -[MKMapView addAnnotation])'
*** Call stack at first throw:

Answer 1

You forgot the colon at the end.

@selector(addAnnotation)

is not

@selector(addAnnotation:)

The first calls a method that takes no parameters and the second takes one parameter.
Your code should be this

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(addAnnotation:) 
                     toTarget:regionsMapView 
                   withObject:addAnnotation];
