SKSpriteNode *spaceship = [SKAction sequence: @[
                          [SKAction performSelector:@selector(newSpaceship) onTarget:self],
                          [SKAction waitForDuration:0.10 withRange:0.15]]];
[self runAction: spaceship];

The warning reads Incompatible pointer types initializing 'SKSpriteNode *' with an expression of type 'SKAction *'.

    SKAction *spaceshipAction = [SKAction ...
