AFNetworking setImageWithURLRequest not setting remote image

afnetworking, ios, uiimageview

Solution

If you supply a success block then you are responsible for setting the image property of your UIImageView. If you supply a nil success block then AFNetworking does it for you.

This is the relevant section of `UIImageView+AFNetworking.m` (line 117):

if (success) {
    success(operation.request, operation.response, responseObject);
} else {
    self.image = responseObject;
}

Alternatively, just use the `-setImageWithURL:placeholderImage:` without the completion blocks.

Problem

I'm using AFNetworking's `UIImageView+AFNetworking.h` to asynchronously load an online image onto a `UIImageView`. The remote image loads very well when I use `setImageWithURLRequest:`, but when I try using `setImageWithURLRequest:placeholderImage:success:failure` the remote image is downloaded but the UIImageView does not set it as its UIImage. Here's my code: ``` @property (strong) IBOutlet UIImageView *imageView; -(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{ [super viewDidAppear:animated]; [_imageView setImageWithURLRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://i.imgur.com/fVhhR.png"]] placeholderImage:nil success:^(NSURLRequest *request , NSHTTPURLResponse *response , UIImage *image ){ NSLog(@"Loaded successfully: %d", [response statusCode]); } failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error){ NSLog(@"failed loading: %@", error); } ]; } ``` Image always loads successfully, the status code is always `200`. But I have to add `[_imageView setImage:image];` to the `success` block for the `UIImageView` to set the image. I'm using iOS 6.0 Any ideas?
