Executing code at some point of time swift 3

Question

I'm making app where user set some point of time, for example 10 am, and at 10 am I want to execute some code, for example I want to print "Wake up!". Which type of background working or something different should I use? I want to add also options to set different days when code have to execute.

PS. I want to it will execute even while app will be terminated, something like alarm clock

But can I only execute code ? I won't print "Wake up!" and I'm not writing alarm clock, that was only example. I want to execute code(short code) in my app. — Jacob233, Feb 09 '17 at 22:11
Just check if that date has passed and execute it when the user opens your app again — Leo Dabus, Feb 09 '17 at 22:22

You can use this pod to accomplish this.

Timer.after(6.hours) {
   println("Time to wake up!!")
}

Yes, timer is one of the few services that can run in the background, along with location, and downloads – Dan Feb 09 '17 at 22:20
No, it isn't. Timers do not run in the background, and certainly not if the app is terminated. – Paulw11 Feb 10 '17 at 02:17
