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。

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) { ... }

使用任务。Sleep不会阻塞当前任务以外的任何代码，而且非常简单。

//Delay task by 4 seconds:

Task {
    try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 4000000000)
    //Execute your code here
}

这是添加延迟的一种更简单的方式，不会影响线程执行。

let continueTime: Date = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .second, value: 30, to: Date())!
while (Date() < continueTime) {
    //DO NOTHING
}

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:

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
}
