This isn’t necessary: replication already runs on a background thread. The CBLReplication class just sends messages to the background replicator and relays notifications from it, so all CBLReplication methods return immediately. TL;DR: Just use CBLReplication on the main database; it’s asynchronous and won’t block your main thread. There are a couple problems with the code you showed. Using CBLReplication inside the background block probably won’t work, basically because the background database (`bgdb`) is itself the database instance that runs the real replicator work. Trying to predict what would happen is making my head hurt; simpler just to say Don’t do that. The call to `[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] run]` will block forever, preventing the background database from handling any more requests. Don’t do that either :) —Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
