Managing threads is very basic in iOS

To have something run on background, you do like this:

- (void)someMethod {
    // method is called on main thread normally

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
        .... // here things are run in background
    });
}

To go back to main thread anywhere, do this:

- (void)someOtherMethod {
    // method is called on background thread

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        ... // here things are on main thread again
    });
}
