I have a method as an NSString *. If it exists, I want to call it, and if not, do nothing.
SEL eventSelector = NSSelectorFromString(eventSelectorStr);
if ([delegate respondsToSelector:eventSelector]) {
[delegate performSelector:eventSelector];
[delegate adapterDidFinishAdRequest:self];
}
else {
// Does not implement selector
}
This code does not work, since NSSelectorFromString will register the string as a selector, so respondsToSelector:eventSelector will cause a crash because the selector is actually invalid.
