Is there an easy way delay a method call for 1 second?

You can also:

[UIView animateWithDuration:1.0
                 animations:^{ self.view.alpha = 1.1; /* Some fake chages */ }
                 completion:^(BOOL finished)
{
    NSLog(@"A second lapsed.");
}];

This case you have to fake some changes to some view to get the animation work. It is hacky indeed, but I love the block based stuff. Or wrap up @mcfedr answer below.

waitFor(1.0, ^
{
    NSLog(@"A second lapsed");
});

typedef void (^WaitCompletionBlock)();
void waitFor(NSTimeInterval duration, WaitCompletionBlock completion)
{
    dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, duration * NSEC_PER_SEC),
                   dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^
    { completion(); });
}
