Hi Paul,


This video was very helpful in building a timer into my project. However, I was running into a slight bug that I thought you may be able to help me with.



I am trying to build an app that allows people to interact with one view while a timer is counting down every second in the navigation view or in a different view. However, when I put this timer view in the navigation bar or in a costume view below the navigation view, the whole screen stops (and inhibits interaction) until the view updates the times. When I put this view into a section header of a list, however, the updating of the timer does not affect the presentation or interaction with other views. I would like to have this timer view appear in the navbar or in a dedicated view outside of the list view. Any ideas would be helpful, and I can share code if that will help.


Thanks!
