42,016 Pointsbelow is your code:
// you set the same property twice
self.backgroundImageView.animationDuration = 2.5f;
self.backgroundImageView.animationDuration = 1;
you set the animation duration twice. you need to set the animationDuration to 2.5 and then the animationRepeatCount to 1
self.backgroundImageView.animationDuration = 2.5f;
self.backgroundImageView.animationRepeatCount = 1;
according to the documentation on the animationRepeatCount property of UIImageView:
The default value is 0, which specifies to repeat the animation indefinitely.
which explains why you were getting an infinite loop. you never set the value and it defaults to 0, so it looped infinitely.
