NSURLConnection freeze - objective-c

Question

I'm trying to send JSON post using NSURLConnection:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlStr];
NSString *jsonPostBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"{\"user\":""\"%#\""",\"pass\":""\"%#\""",\"listades\":\"\"}",
[username stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding],
[password stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSLog(#"JSNON BODY:%#", jsonPostBody);
NSData *postData = [jsonPostBody dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSMutableURLRequest* request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData
timeoutInterval:10.0];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
[request setTimeoutInterval:2.0];
NSString* postDataLengthString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:postDataLengthString forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
App execution gets freeze when it reaches connection command, despite timeout.
I'm stucked in this issue and I can not find a solution.
Many thanks

-(void) jsonRESTWebServiceMethod:(NSString*)method WithParameter:(NSMutableDictionary*)params{
self.iResponseType = JSONTYPE;
NSMutableDictionary *bodyDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:method,#"name",params,#"body",nil,nil];
NSData *data = [[CJSONSerializer serializer] serializeObject:bodyDict error:nil];
NSString *strRequest = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
strRequest = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"json=%#",strRequest];
NSData *body = [strRequest dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithString:WebServiceURL];
NSString* escapedUrlString = [strURL stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSMutableURLRequest *request= [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:escapedUrlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setHTTPBody:body];
NSString *msgLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",strRequest.length];
[request addValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
[request addValue:msgLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
if (mydata) {
[mydata release];
mydata = nil;
}
conections = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
mydata = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
}

It's freezing your app because you have passed YES into startImmediately. This will freeze the app until request is finished.
You need to use something like connectionWithRequest:delegate: - this will run the request in the background and tell you when it's done.
NSURLConnection *connection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];
