Is there a way to pass a variable after 5 seconds?

Question

I'm creating a desktop app with Swift and I need to pass a stop boolean after 5 seconds. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can use asyncAfter to create an async delay. After the 5.0 seconds you can do what you want.

var stop: Bool = false

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5.0) { // runs after 5.0 seconds
    // pass your stop boolean here
}
