UIProgressHUD – A safe alternative

As posted previously, although it looks nice, putting a UIProgressHUD into your App will cause it to be rejected by Apple, however there is a much better alternative which I was introduced to recently.

This is the Activity Indicator from the WordPress iPhone Application, it's freely available (however there is a caveat to using it) and it works superbly well, simply download the code and nib that are linked in this post and insert them into your project.

LoadingView.h

LoadingView.m

WPActivityIndicator.xib

Then call it by using;

 [[LoadingView sharedActivityIndicator] show]; 

// your code here 

[[LoadingView sharedActivityIndicator] hide]; 

This provides a fine replacement for the UIProgressHUD I admire.
