Swift 3和4:

您可以在DispatchQueue上创建一个扩展，并在内部添加使用DispatchQueue asyncAfter函数的函数delay

extension DispatchQueue {
    static func delay(_ delay: DispatchTimeInterval, closure: @escaping () -> ()) {
        let timeInterval = DispatchTime.now() + delay
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: timeInterval, execute: closure)
    }
}

使用:

DispatchQueue.delay(.seconds(1)) {
    print("This is after delay")
}

另一个帮手来延迟你的代码，这是100%的Swift使用，并可选地允许选择一个不同的线程来运行你的延迟代码:

public func delay(bySeconds seconds: Double, dispatchLevel: DispatchLevel = .main, closure: @escaping () -> Void) {
    let dispatchTime = DispatchTime.now() + seconds
    dispatchLevel.dispatchQueue.asyncAfter(deadline: dispatchTime, execute: closure)
}

public enum DispatchLevel {
    case main, userInteractive, userInitiated, utility, background
    var dispatchQueue: DispatchQueue {
        switch self {
        case .main:                 return DispatchQueue.main
        case .userInteractive:      return DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInteractive)
        case .userInitiated:        return DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated)
        case .utility:              return DispatchQueue.global(qos: .utility)
        case .background:           return DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background)
        }
    }
}

现在你只需在主线程上延迟你的代码，就像这样:

delay(bySeconds: 1.5) { 
    // delayed code
}

如果你想延迟你的代码到不同的线程:

delay(bySeconds: 1.5, dispatchLevel: .background) { 
    // delayed code that will run on background thread
}

如果你喜欢一个框架，也有一些更方便的功能，然后签出handysswift。你可以通过Carthage将它添加到你的项目中，然后像上面的例子一样使用它，例如:

import HandySwift    

delay(bySeconds: 1.5) { 
    // delayed code
}

Matt的语法非常好，如果你需要使块失效，你可能想使用这个:

typealias dispatch_cancelable_closure = (cancel : Bool) -> Void

func delay(time:NSTimeInterval, closure:()->Void) ->  dispatch_cancelable_closure? {

    func dispatch_later(clsr:()->Void) {
        dispatch_after(
            dispatch_time(
                DISPATCH_TIME_NOW,
                Int64(time * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))
            ),
            dispatch_get_main_queue(), clsr)
    }

    var closure:dispatch_block_t? = closure
    var cancelableClosure:dispatch_cancelable_closure?

    let delayedClosure:dispatch_cancelable_closure = { cancel in
        if closure != nil {
            if (cancel == false) {
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), closure!);
            }
        }
        closure = nil
        cancelableClosure = nil
    }

    cancelableClosure = delayedClosure

    dispatch_later {
        if let delayedClosure = cancelableClosure {
            delayedClosure(cancel: false)
        }
    }

    return cancelableClosure;
}

func cancel_delay(closure:dispatch_cancelable_closure?) {

    if closure != nil {
        closure!(cancel: true)
    }
}

使用方法如下

let retVal = delay(2.0) {
    println("Later")
}
delay(1.0) {
    cancel_delay(retVal)
}

上面的链接似乎坏了。来自Github的原始Objc代码

对于多个函数使用这个。这对于静态函数或任何UI更新使用动画或活动加载器非常有帮助。

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.9) {
            // Call your function 1
            DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) {
                // Call your function 2
            }
        }

例如-在tableView重新加载之前使用动画。或任何其他UI更新后的动画。

*// Start your amination* 
self.startAnimation()
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.9) {
                *// The animation will execute depending on the delay time*
                self.stopAnimation()
                DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) {
                    *// Now update your view*
                     self.fetchData()
                     self.updateUI()
                }
            }

斯威夫特 3+

这在Swift 3+中是超级简单和优雅的:

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 4.5) {
    // ...
}

年长的回答:

为了扩展Cezary的答案，它将在1纳秒后执行，我必须执行以下操作以在4秒半后执行。

let delay = 4.5 * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)
let time = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(delay))
dispatch_after(time, dispatch_get_main_queue(), block)

编辑:我发现我原来的代码有一点错误。如果不将NSEC_PER_SEC转换为Double类型，隐式类型将导致编译错误。

如果有人能提出一个更优的解决方案，我很乐意听听。

在Swift 5中，在下面使用:

 DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.2, execute: closure) 

// time gap, specify unit is second
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + .seconds(2)) {
            Singleton.shared().printDate()
        }
// default time gap is second, you can reduce it
    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.2) {
          // just do it!
    }
