GestureRecognizer not responding to tap
I was using UITapGestureRecognizer that I placed on a UILabel using Storyboard.
To get this to work I also had to place a checkmark in the block labeled: "User Interaction Enabled" in the UILabel Attributes Inspector in the Storyboard.
I discovered the answer after carefully combing through my code.
One of the parent views was created without supplying a frame:
While it's a noobish enough error to warrant deletion of this questions, odds are someone else will also have the same issue in the future...
Try this
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) { super.viewDidAppear(animated) self.view.userInteractionEnabled = true var tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleTap:")) self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)}func handleTap(sender : UIView) { println("Tap Gesture recognized")}
