I’m implementing the dropbox api for my new project app. The api is based around delegates & callbacks, in pairs (success + fail) like:

- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedMetadata:(DBMetadata*)metadata;
- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadMetadataFailedWithError:(NSError*)error; 

- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedAccountInfo:(DBAccountInfo*)info;
- (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadAccountInfoFailedWithError:(NSError*)error;

I wonder if exist a way to turn that into a obj-c async block, so I could do this:

+ (void)loadMetadata:(DBRestClient *)client queue:(NSOperationQueue *)queue completionHandler:(void (^)(DBMetadata*, NSError*))handler

Exist a kind of pattern that could be used for this? Or is necessary that the library be build with blocks from the start?

    There is now an open source library called ‘DropBlocks’ that provides block-based versions of all the Dropbox iOS SDK functions.

    Full disclosure: I am the author of this library. I wrote it after becoming frustrated with the delegate paradigm described in this question. Feel free to check out the source to see how I implemented it.
