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
}

我同意Palle的观点，在这里使用dispatch_after是一个很好的选择。但是您可能不喜欢GCD调用，因为编写它们非常烦人。相反，你可以添加这个方便的助手:

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)
        }
    }
}

现在你只需在后台线程上延迟你的代码，就像这样:

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

在主线程上延迟代码甚至更简单:

delay(bySeconds: 1.5) { 
    // delayed code, by default run in main 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SwiftPM将它添加到你的项目中，然后像上面的例子一样使用它:

import HandySwift    

delay(by: .seconds(1.5)) { 
    // delayed code
}

在Swift 3.0中尝试以下实现

func delayWithSeconds(_ seconds: Double, completion: @escaping () -> ()) {
    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + seconds) { 
        completion()
    }
}

使用

delayWithSeconds(1) {
   //Do something
}

我认为最简单和最新的4秒计时器方法是:

Task { 
    // Do something

    // Wait for 4 seconds
    try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 4_000_000_000) 

}

它使用了Swift 5.5的新并发。

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:

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
}
