Blocking on UIImageView animation, or, "while not finished animating, spin"

I'm currently animating many images via 4 UIImageViews, and all is well on that front. The animations complete as expected, and I am assuming that they run inside their own NSThread, as execution continues despite the animation. Of course, this is good and expected behaviour, as I definitely wouldn't want my whole app to halt until the animation finishes.

However, I need to kick off a method which needs to depend on whether the animation is running or not.

The following code is bad as I understand, as introducing loops and other delays inside the main thread causes instability.

while([self.fooImgView isAnimating])
        ;

This code effectively halts execution of the whole app. I need to find a way to "spin" until the animation completes, without wedging the app.

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you use block animations like this one, you can use the completion block to call some delegate or execute your method
