Aside from method names and coding style, this is otherwise identical to the solution I came up with. What's that they say? Great minds think alike? ;) It’s nice to see someone else come up with the same solution. Aside from method names and coding style, this is otherwise identical to the solution I came up with.

The app was not rejected. I am adding it now though because I think it helps even if slightly redundant.

I really see no reason not to use it given how simple it is to do so and how helpful it is to the user.

I have a question though, maybe you know: Is it mandatory to use the network activity indicator in apps submitted to App Store? Is this a reason for rejection? Thanks! Vasile Hi,
