Can you attach a UIGestureRecognizer to multiple views?

A UIGestureRecognizer is to be used with a single view. I agree the documentation is spotty. That UIGestureRecognizer has a single view property gives it away:

view

The view the gesture recognizer is attached to. (read-only)

@property(nonatomic, readonly) UIView *view

Discussion You attach (or add) a gesture recognizer to a UIView objectusing the addGestureRecognizer:method.

I got around it by using the below.

for (UIButton *aButton in myButtons) {            UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPress = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleLongPress:)];            longPress.minimumPressDuration=1.0;            [aButton addGestureRecognizer:longPress];            [longPress release];}

Then in my handleLongPress method I just set a UIButton equal to the view of the gesture recognizer and branch what I do based upon that button

- (void)handleLongPress:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer*)gesture {    if ( gesture.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded ) {        UIButton *whichButton=(UIButton *)[gesture view];        selectedButton=(UIButton *)[gesture view];    ....}

For Swift 3 in case anyone requires this:Based on Bhavik Rathod Answer above.

 func setGestureRecognizer() -> UIPanGestureRecognizer {        var panRecognizer = UIPanGestureRecognizer()        panRecognizer = UIPanGestureRecognizer (target: self, action: #selector(pan(panGesture:)))        panRecognizer.minimumNumberOfTouches = 1        panRecognizer.maximumNumberOfTouches = 1        return panRecognizer    }        ///set the recognize in multiple views        view1.addGestureRecognizer(setGestureRecognizer())        view2.addGestureRecognizer(setGestureRecognizer())
