Answer 1

Swift4

    @IBOutlet weak var actionButton: UIButton!
    @IBOutlet weak var timeLabel: UILabel!
    var timer:Timer?
    var timeLeft = 60

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    setupTimer()
}

func setupTimer() {
    timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 1.0, target: self, selector: #selector(onTimerFires), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
}

@objc func onTimerFires() {
    timeLeft -= 1
    timeLabel.text = "\(timeLeft) seconds left"

    if timeLeft <= 0 {
        actionButton.isEnabled = true
        actionButton.setTitle("enabled", for: .normal)
        timer?.invalidate()
        timer = nil
    }
}

@IBAction func btnClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {
    print("API Fired")
}
