Incompatible block pointer types in - ios

Question

Here's the method that's giving me an error when I compile (see the requestMainPage method)
- (void)loginToMistarWithPin:(NSString *)pin password:(NSString *)password success:(void (^)(void))successHandler failure:(void (^)(void))failureHandler {
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://mistar.oakland.k12.mi.us/novi/StudentPortal/Home/Login"];
//Create and send request
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString *postString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Pin=%#&Password=%#",
[self percentEscapeString:pin],
[self percentEscapeString:password]];
NSData * postBody = [postString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[request setHTTPBody:postBody];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse
*response, NSData *data, NSError *error)
{
// do whatever with the data...and errors
if ([data length] > 0 && error == nil) {
NSError *parseError;
NSDictionary *responseJSON = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:&parseError];
if (responseJSON) {
// the response was JSON and we successfully decoded it
NSLog(#"Response was = %#", responseJSON);
// assuming you validated that everything was successful, call the success block
if (successHandler)
successHandler();
} else {
// the response was not JSON, so let's see what it was so we can diagnose the issue
NSString *loggedInPage = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"Response was not JSON (from login), it was = %#", loggedInPage);
if (failureHandler)
failureHandler();
}
}
else {
NSLog(#"error: %#", error);
if (failureHandler)
failureHandler();
}
}]; }
- (NSData *)requestMainPage {
NSData *returner;
//Now redirect to assignments page
NSURL *homeURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://mistar.oakland.k12.mi.us/novi/StudentPortal/Home/PortalMainPage"];
NSMutableURLRequest *requestHome = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:homeURL];
[requestHome setHTTPMethod:#"GET"]; // this looks like GET request, not POST
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:requestHome queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *homeResponse, NSData *homeData, NSError *homeError) //Error is in this line.
{
// do whatever with the data...and errors
if ([homeData length] > 0 && homeError == nil) {
NSError *parseError;
NSDictionary *responseJSON = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:homeData options:0 error:&parseError];
if (responseJSON) {
// the response was JSON and we successfully decoded it
NSLog(#"Response was = %#", responseJSON);
} else {
// the response was not JSON, so let's see what it was so we can diagnose the issue
NSString *homePage = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:homeData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"Response was not JSON (from home), it was = %#", homePage);
return homePage;
}
}
else {
NSLog(#"error: %#", homeError);
}
return [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", homeData];
}]; }
The error came up when I decided I wanted my method (requestMainPage) to have a return type of NSData * rather then just returning void.
So I'm not sure exactly where the problem is.

I figured out my mistake, you can't return values from inside a block.
So if I remove the return homeError and return [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", homeData];, the problems go away and I can compile
