Memory issue with perform selector - iPhone

i got a problem and i don't know how to solve it. this is what i try to do: the user picks an image from his album on his iphone. while the image will be saved in the application folder, a actionsheet should popup with an activity indicator on it till the saving process is done. below you can see how i tried to do it, but i think there my code causes a memory problem (EXC_BAD_ACCESS), but i can't fix it.

when i debug, i found out, that both methods which are listed below will be called in a loop, that's what confuses me the most.

thanks in advance for your help.

You're passing args into saveImage and then releasing it. Since the method is waiting 0.1 seconds before executing by this time args has already been released. Try not releasing args to see if that fixes your problem then think about a better way to manage the memory, possibly retain it as a property of the class.
