Thanks I will investigate.
If the code that was shown was running on the main thread, then the process should not have exited. The code called [queue waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished]. In general, operation queues don't rely on the run loop. It is correct that if the code shown was in a background thread and nothing was keeping the main thread from exiting, then the process will be terminated, likely before the operation finished (or maybe even started) executing. Parking the main thread in a loop running its run loop, assuming the run loop has at least one input source, is one way of preventing the main thread from exiting. But that's the only tenuous relationship between run loops and operation queues.
