Just a reminder of a mistake I made myself too  the     block   declaration must be done when first declaring the variable  that is  OUTSIDE of the block  not inside of it  This should resolve problems mentioned in the comments about the variable not retaining its value outside of the block

User · Answer

yes block are the most used functionality   so in order to avoid the retain cycle we should avoid using the strong variable including self  inside the block  inspite use the  weak or weakself
