    The method you want to use is:

    + (NSTimer *)scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:(NSTimeInterval) seconds target:(id) target selector:(SEL) aSelector userInfo:(id) userInfo repeats:(BOOL) repeats
    

    with repeats == NO arguments and seconds == 30. This will create the timer and schedule it. It will fire only once, in 30 seconds (and not immediately).
