ScrollView gesture recognizer eating all touch events

Question

I have a UIScrollView to which I added a single tap gesture recognizer to show/hide some UI overlay using:

UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me in Swift 3 / Xcode 8

self.scrollView.touchesShouldCancel(in: ** the view you want the touches in **)
self.scrollView.canCancelContentTouches = false

Good luck!
