It could be performInBackground(selector:,with:) ... "Perform in background <selector> with <object>" but that also reads a little strange. -Shawn On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 8:40 AM Paul Hudson via swift-corelibs-dev < swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org> wrote: > Hello! > > I just noticed that performSelectorInBackground(_:withObject:) has > been mapped to performSelector(inBackground:with:) in Swift 3.
