CADisplayLink running lower frame rate on iOS5.1

Question

I\'m using CADisplayLink in my iPhone app.

Here is the relevant code:

SMPTELink = [CADisplayLink displayLinkWithTarget:self selector:@selec

Basic Swift version of the other answers (minus the animation code)

class BasicStopwatch {

    var timer: CADisplayLink!
    var firstTimestamp: CFTimeInterval!
    var elapsedTime: TimeInterval = 0

    let formatter: DateFormatter = {
        let df = DateFormatter()
        df.dateFormat = "mm:ss.SS"
        return df
    }()

    func begin() {
        timer = CADisplayLink(target: self, selector: #selector(tick))
        timer.preferredFramesPerSecond = 10 // adjust as needed
        timer.add(to: .main, forMode: .common)
    }

    @objc func tick() {
        if (self.firstTimestamp == nil) {
            print("Set first timestamp")
            self.firstTimestamp = timer!.timestamp
            return
        }

        elapsedTime = timer.timestamp - firstTimestamp
        /// Print raw elapsed time
        // print(elapsedTime)

        /// print elapsed time
        print(elapsedTimeAsString())

        /// If need to track frames
        // let totalFrames: Double = 20
        // let frameNumber = (elapsedTime * Double(timer!.preferredFramesPerSecond)).truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: totalFrames)
        // print("Frame ", frameNumber)
    }

    func elapsedTimeAsString() -> String {
        return formatter.string(from: Date(timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate: elapsedTime))
    }
}

Usage

let watch = BasicStopwatch()
watch.begin()
