Summary:

UIWebView freezes entire app when downloading heavy resources (images, videos etc.)

Steps to Reproduce:

Open the attached project and run it on a device with a strong internet connection.

Expected Results:

The app should accept touches while the webview is downloading images.

Actual Results:

The app completely freezes till all images are downloaded

Regression:

Notes:

From my preliminary testing, it seems that although the image download does happen asynchronously, allocing memory and deflating the images seems to freeze up ui.
