The online cocoa documentation lists this method in NSObject:

- (void)performSelectorOnMainThread:(SEL)aSelector withObject:(id)arg waitUntilDone:(BOOL)wait

However, the NSObject.h file in /System/Library/Frameworks does not list this method. I assume this is why I'm getting a compiler warning on my app regarding my usage of -performSelectorOnMainThread:. The app works just fine though...


It's defined in NSThread.h, as a category on NSObject. (This makes sense, in a way.)

Here's a copy of the actual definition, found at the end of NSThread.h:

#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_2 <= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
@interface NSObject (NSMainThreadPerformAdditions)

- (void)performSelectorOnMainThread:(SEL)aSelector withObject:(id)arg waitUntilD
one:(BOOL)wait modes:(NSArray *)array;
- (void)performSelectorOnMainThread:(SEL)aSelector withObject:(id)arg waitUntilD
one:(BOOL)wait;
// equivalent to the first method with kCFRunLoopCommonModes

@end
#endif


So where is this method actually declared? Why is there this inconsistency? What can I do about this compiler warning? (I really hate having compiler warnings.)

well, you need to include the NSThread.h header file. If you're using #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> or or #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> then this ought to be happening automatically.
