UITapGestureRecognizer not working on iOS9

me 2!!!

Same here! -- tap works from Xcode 7 with iOS 8, does not with iOS 9 beta 2

long press fails the same way

If I built the taps in code, or if I deleted the UITapGestureRecognizer from the xib and added it back again, it worked.

I also noticed that when I did this in the xib, it removed

<pressTypeMask key="allowedPressTypes"/>

from the xml.

I can confirm that removing and re-adding the gesture recognizer in the storyboard fixed it. My guess is it's an issue with the latest build (v7 Beta 2).

I think you mean it adds

<pressTypeMask key="allowedPressTypes"/>

?

Yeah, you're right - I was misreading the diff in SourceTree. It *adds* that key in XCode 7.

Just ran into this myself. Filed bug # 21633089.

Try to add gestureRecognizer by code, it will work. Add gestureRecognizer from intefaceBuilder will have this problem.

I have my TapGestureRecognizer added by code and it only works on iOS 8.

      tap.addTarget(self, action: #selector(SignInViewController.sendEndMenuTap))
      view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
    #endif
  }
  @objc func sendEndMenuTap(_ gestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    print("@@@@@ called on touch end 3 state=", gestureRecognizer.state.rawValue)
    UIApplication.shared.pressesEnded([MenuUIPress(view: view)], with: UIPressesEvent())
