# interval

An integer providing a suggested interval between scheduling and invoking the activity.

```
var interval: TimeInterval { get set }
```

## Discussion

For repeating activities, the value of this property is also the suggested interval between invocations. See [`Configure Scheduler Properties`](/documentation/Foundation/NSBackgroundActivityScheduler#Configure-Scheduler-Properties).
