You have to pass a pointer to the object pointer not the object pointer itself, i.e &fh not fh, when adding arguments to an invocation. So, the correct call is: [invocation setArgument:&fh atIndex:2]; Because objective-c objects' memory layout begin with a pointer to the object's class, what actually occurred is that you set the argument to the object's class rather than the object itself. That's why the error message looks mostly correct, with only a subtle '+' instead of the '-' in front to indicate it was interpreted as a class method.
