This is the code I used to run MBProgressHUD while I'm populating a UITableView. It also dismissed the hud after the table has successfully been populated. Here's what I did inside viewDidLoad:

// Initialize MBProgressHUD

    HUD = [MBProgressHUD showHUDAddedTo:self.view animated:YES];

    [self.view addSubview:HUD];

    HUD.delegate = self;

    HUD.dimBackground = YES;

    HUD.labelText = @"Loading Ticket";

    // Populate the ticket table while the hud is displaying

    [self performSelector:@selector(loadTickets) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.001];

    // Dismisses the hud

    [MBProgressHUD hideHUDForView:self.view animated:YES];

I used a very minimal and unnoticeable delay of 0.001 as advised from this stackoverflow article below:
