Parse.com PFUser signUpInBackgroundWithBlock: block not being called on first tap - ios

Question

i am developing an iOS-App with Swift and the parse.com framework and have a big problem with registering new users.
The block of "signUpInBackgroundWithBlock" is not being called on the first tap, although the new user is getting registered. When i am tapping the button a second time, the block gets finally called and i get an error, that the username is already registered.
var newUser = PFUser()
newUser.username = registerView.nicknameTextField.text.trim()
newUser.email = registerView.emailTextField.text
newUser.password = registerView.passwordTextField.text
newUser.signUpInBackgroundWithBlock {
(succeeded: Bool, error: NSError!) -> Void in
self.registerCompletionBlock(succeeded, error: error)
}
Is someone having the same problem and knows a solution for this strange behaviour?
Thanks!
Edit:
The completion block should call the "registerCompletionBlock()" function:
func registerCompletionBlock(succeeded: Bool, error: NSError!) {
if error == nil {
let subscriptionStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Subscription", bundle: nil)
let viewcontroller: UIViewController = subscriptionStoryboard.instantiateInitialViewController() as UIViewController
self.presentViewController(viewcontroller, animated: true, completion: nil)
} else {
if let errorString = error.userInfo?["error"] as? NSString {
println(errorString)
if error.userInfo?["code"] as Float == 202{
let alert = UIAlertView(title: "vergeben", message: "name vergeben", delegate: nil, cancelButtonTitle: "abbrechen")
alert.show()
}
}
}
}

Answer 1

I tried the solution posted previously (eliminating PFUser.enableAutomaticUser()), and the issue persisted.
In case anyone else is still looking for a solution to this issue, try changing the if error == nil to if succeeded == true in the block of signUpInBackground. This worked for me and all is functional in backend.

Its calling at first time, but its taking a little time for calling this .. because its sending data on server in asynchronous. Asynchronous never block the main thread..
Because : -
Asynchronous never block the main thread waiting for a network response.
Asynchronous can be either synchronous on a separate thread, or scheduled in the run loop of any thread.
Asynchronous can be either synchronous on a separate thread, or scheduled in the run loop of any thread.
Synchronous blocks main thread until they complete request.

Because you call the method asynchronous, it takes some time to do it and your main thread doesn't wait for the method to finish. So you should, if you want to show a message or perform a segue, after the registration, put it inside the completion-block:
newUser.signUpInBackgroundWithBlock {
(succeeded: Bool!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
if error == nil {
// Perform a segue, show a message or whatever you want
} else {
let errorString = error.userInfo["error"] as NSString
// Show the errorString somewhere and let the user try again.
}
}
Also if you don't want to do it asynchronous, you can call the signUp() method(without the inBackgroundWithBlock. That way the application waits for the signup to finish until it continues.

i figured it out. Problem was, that i used PFUser.enableAutomaticUser() in the AppDelegate. I removed that line and the signup-block works flawlessly now!
