这是最简单的

    delay(0.3, closure: {
        // put her any code you want to fire it with delay
        button.removeFromSuperview()   
    })

使用DispatchQueue的. asyncafter方法，可以在给定时间后执行代码。例如，执行…在主线程中，1秒后看起来是这样的:

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1) { ... }

使用我方便的延迟包装器结构，你可以以更奇特的方式执行它:

struct Delay {

    @discardableResult
    init(_ timeInterval: TimeInterval, queue: DispatchQueue = .main, executingBlock: @escaping () -> Void) {
        queue.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + timeInterval, execute: executingBlock)
    }

}

用法:

Delay(0.4) { ... }

如果从UI线程调用，sleep会锁住你的程序，可以考虑使用NSTimer或分派计时器。

但是，如果你真的需要延迟当前线程:

do {
    sleep(4)
}

这使用了UNIX中的睡眠函数。

你可以创建扩展来轻松使用延迟函数(语法:Swift 4.2+)

extension UIViewController {
    func delay(_ delay:Double, closure:@escaping ()->()) {
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(
            deadline: DispatchTime.now() + Double(Int64(delay * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))) / Double(NSEC_PER_SEC), execute: closure)
    }
}

如何在UIViewController中使用

self.delay(0.1, closure: {
   //execute code
})

Using a dispatch_after block is in most cases better than using sleep(time) as the thread on which the sleep is performed is blocked from doing other work. when using dispatch_after the thread which is worked on does not get blocked so it can do other work in the meantime. If you are working on the main thread of your application, using sleep(time) is bad for the user experience of your app as the UI is unresponsive during that time. Dispatch after schedules the execution of a block of code instead of freezing the thread:

斯威夫特≥ 3.0

let seconds = 4.0
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + seconds) {
    // Put your code which should be executed with a delay here
}

Swift≥5.5(异步):

func foo() async {
    try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: UInt64(seconds * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
    // Put your code which should be executed with a delay here
}

Swift < 3.0

let time = dispatch_time(dispatch_time_t(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW), 4 * Int64(NSEC_PER_SEC))
dispatch_after(time, dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
    // Put your code which should be executed with a delay here
}

如果需要将延迟设置为小于1秒，则不需要设置.seconds参数。我希望这对某些人有用。

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5, execute: {
        // your code hear
})
