Swift 5 - Timer not firing

Question

I have the following,

class someViewController : ViewController{
    var timer:Timer? = nil

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: 5.0, target: self, selector: #selector(fire), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

}

@objc func fire(){
print("fired")
}
    
}

The fire function is never hit and I can't figure out why, what am I missing?

Try to clean Xcode or rebuild project, because your code works fine.
