ios - Running NSURLSession completion handler on main thread

Question

I am using a NSURLSession to get the values to populate a TableView. I am updating the TableView in the completion handler, but using [[NSThread currentThread] isMainThread] has shown me that the completion handler isn't running in the main thread. Since I should only updating the UI from the main thread, I know this isn't correct. Is there a way to trigger an action on the main thread from the completion handler? Or is using a NSURLSession the wrong way to go about this?

NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];
[[session dataTaskWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://myurl"]
        completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
            NSError *jsonError = nil;
            NSArray* jsonUsers = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:&jsonError];
            if (jsonError) {
                NSLog(@"error is %@", [jsonError localizedDescription]);
                // Handle Error and return
                return;
            }
            self.userArray = jsonUsers;
            [self.userTableView reloadData];
            if ([[NSThread currentThread] isMainThread]){
                NSLog(@"In main thread--completion handler");
            }
            else{
                NSLog(@"Not in main thread--completion handler");
            }
}] resume];

Yes, just dispatch your main thread stuff using GCD:

 NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sharedSession];
    [[session dataTaskWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://myurl"]
            completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
                NSError *jsonError = nil;
                NSArray* jsonUsers = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:&jsonError];
                if (jsonError) {
                    NSLog(@"error is %@", [jsonError localizedDescription]);
                    // Handle Error and return
                    return;
                }

                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                    self.userArray = jsonUsers;
                    [self.userTableView reloadData];
                    if ([[NSThread currentThread] isMainThread]){
                        NSLog(@"In main thread--completion handler");
                    }
                    else{
                        NSLog(@"Not in main thread--completion handler");
                    }
                });

            }] resume];
