GCD semaphore approach:

dispatch_semaphore_t sema = dispatch_semaphore_create(0);
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,0);

for (NSURL *url in self.assetUrls) {
    dispatch_async(queue, ^{
        [library assetForURL:url resultBlock:^(ALAsset *asset) {
            [self.assets addObject:asset];
            dispatch_semaphore_signal(sema);
        } failureBlock:^(NSError *error) {
            dispatch_semaphore_signal(sema);
        }];
    });
    dispatch_semaphore_wait(sema, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
}
dispatch_release(sema);

/* Check out ALAssets */
NSLog(@"%@", self.assets);
