Swift: Make launch image appear slightly longer?

Question

So while I realize leaving your launch image up for a long time can seem annoying or pretentious to the user, when I launch the Xcode simulator, the launch image only stays up for 0.5 sec - 1 sec. I want it to stay for like 1 more second.

How can I do this?

Actually, in your AppDelegate.swift - sleep(2) - For 2 seconds — Jason, Apr 30 '16 at 22:48

You could add a UIImageView to your view controller's view, then use an NSTimer or performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: call to call a method to remove it.

That's pretty much the only way to do it. :) – Simon Germain Jul 25 '14 at 02:10

What worked for me in Obj-C is just putting this in the app delegate didFinishLaunching

[NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:0.5];

0.5 being the number of seconds to wait. So I would assume in Swift it would just be

NSThread.sleepForTimeInterval(0.5);

Put that in the App Delegate with your interval.

Are you sure this will not stop main thread? If there is some stuff being downloaded, will it not be suspended? – iBug Aug 16 '16 at 09:28
