I recently met a problem using blocks with Facebook’s app switching. I needed to call a block after the Facebook login.
First my block was destroyed when the app switched back (’cause it was on the stack), so I decided to retain it. But that didn’t work, and I messed with that problem :/. I found a solution on that blog and also here.
My question is simply : why copy works and retain does not ?
Because when you create a block there is nothing to retain, since it doesn’t exist in the heap until you copy it there with
Block_copy. This is covered in the WWDC lectures about blocks.More info: http://www.friday.com/bbum/2009/08/29/blocks-tips-tricks/
