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 = [

Thanks @zambrey

Swift 2.2+ Version:

scrollView.delegate = self

let allowMultipleTouches = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(genderPressed))
allowMultipleTouches.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
allowMultipleTouches.cancelsTouchesInView = false

scrollView.addGestureRecognizer(allowMultipleTouches)

If your scroll view is in the Storyboard, don't forget to pin the Outlet in the view controller. In this example, scrollView is the Outlet of the UIScrollView.
