Return value for performSelector:

An example of using NSInvocation to return a float:

SEL selector = NSSelectorFromString(@"someSelector");
if ([someInstance respondsToSelector:selector]) {
    NSInvocation *invocation = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature:
                                [[someInstance class] instanceMethodSignatureForSelector:selector]];
    [invocation setSelector:selector];
    [invocation setTarget:someInstance];
    [invocation invoke];
    float returnValue;
    [invocation getReturnValue:&returnValue];
    NSLog(@"Returned %f", returnValue);
}
