Question

I’m using Sync Services in my application. I’m using the normal way of getting the contacts from the address book (using sync services).

I want to prematurely end a sync session if the user decides to do that, therefore, when the user presses the “cancel” button, I make a call to [driver finishSyncing]

Attached to the ISyncSessionDriver is a delegate which deals with delegate methods typical of a sync session. One of those methods is - (BOOL)sessionDriver:(ISyncSessionDriver *)sender willFinishSessionAndReturnError:(NSError **)outError

The problem is that when calling finishSyncing, the sessionDriver:willFinishSessionAndReturnError: gets repeatedly called, not just once, but hunderds of times. Eventually it will throw an error.

So, how could I fix this, or what better debugging can I do to figure out what the problem is?

Thanks

Answer 1

Use instead – (void)cancelSyncing.

Make sure to release the receiver soon afterward because you cannot continue using a canceled session.
