UITapGestureRecognizer on UIImageView within UITablevlewCell not getting called

UIImageView's user interaction is disabled by default. You have to enable it explicitly to make it respond to touches.

imageView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

Swift 3

This worked for me:

self.isUserInteractionEnabled = true

In my case it looks like :

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView         cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {    NSString *cellIdentifier = CELL_ROUTE_IDENTIFIER;    RouteTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];    if (cell == nil) {        cell = [[RouteTableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault                                         reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];    }    if ([self.routes count] > 0) {        Route *route = [self.routes objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];        UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTapOwner = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self                                                                                    action:@selector(imageOwnerTapped:)];        singleTapOwner.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;        singleTapOwner.cancelsTouchesInView = YES;        [cell.ownerImageView setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];        [cell.ownerImageView addGestureRecognizer:singleTapOwner];    } else {        cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;    }    return cell;}

And selector :

- (void)imageOwnerTapped:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)gesture {    CGPoint location = [gesture locationInView:self.tableView];    NSIndexPath *tapedIndexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:location];    UITableViewCell *tapedCell  = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:tapedIndexPath];    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:tapedCell];    NSUInteger index = [indexPath row];    Route *route = [self.routes objectAtIndex:index];}
