It's less likely an issue - but still possible, e.g.

UIWebView wv = ... ;
// load splash screen
wv.LoadRequest (...);
... do a bunch of stuff ...
// load authentication form
wv.LoadRequest (...); // possible issue if the first one has not ended

Not that I know of and I don't think there's one for ObjectiveC
either. The same UI* thread rules applies (do everything on the main
thread except if the documentation tells you it's ok) and,
UIWebView-specific, serialize your usage of its API.

If you think it could be an issue (don't lose your precious time on
this otherwise) then you can adding a lock (or simply logging) around
it's usage - even if just for debugging and see if it changes/improve
things.
