There are already a lot of answers and they are all correct  In case you want to use the dispatch after you should be looking for the snippet which is included inside the Code Snippet Library at the right bottom  where you can select the UI elements      So you just need to call this snippet by writing dispatch in code

NOTE  this will pause your whole thread  not just the one method  Make a call to sleep wait halt for 1000 ms just before calling your method   Sleep 1000      does nothing the next 1000 mSek  Methodcall params      now do the real thing   Edit  The above answer applies to the general question  How can I delay a method call for 1 second    which was the question asked at the time of the answer  infact the answer was given within 7 minutes of the original question  -     No Info was given about the language at that time  so kindly stop bitching about the proper way of using sleep i XCode og the lack of classes

You can also    UIView animateWithDuration 1 0                  animations    self view alpha   1 1     Some fake chages                       completion   BOOL finished        NSLog   A second lapsed           This case you have to fake some changes to some view to get the animation work  It is hacky indeed  but I love the block based stuff  Or wrap up  mcfedr answer below     waitFor 1 0          NSLog   A second lapsed            typedef void   WaitCompletionBlock     void waitFor NSTimeInterval duration  WaitCompletionBlock completion        dispatch after dispatch time DISPATCH TIME NOW  duration   NSEC PER SEC                      dispatch get main queue            completion

You could also use a block  dispatch after dispatch time DISPATCH TIME NOW  1   NSEC PER SEC   dispatch get main queue            object method          Most of time you will want to use dispatch get main queue  although if there is no UI in the method you could use a global queue   Edit   Swift 3 version   DispatchQueue main asyncAfter deadline   now     1        object method       Equally  DispatchQueue global   asyncAfter     might also be a good option
