# ObjC.setTimeout

Set the total remote-call wait.

```js
ObjC.setTimeout(milliseconds)
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `milliseconds` | number | 1..60000; default 5000. |

## Returns

This client.

## Example

```js
const app = RemoteObjC.forApp("com.apple.Preferences");
app.setTimeout(3000);
```

## Notes

Start with [Objective-C step by step](/doc/objc). Also available on app = RemoteObjC.forApp(bundleId) as app.setTimeout(). A timeout does not undo an action already running. Do not replay uncertain mutations.
