How do I implement the UITapGestureRecognizer into my application

Question

I am quite new to programming and Objective C. I was wondering how to make an app which has a blank screen and a timer that goes for one minute. You are meant to tap as fast

If you are working Swift (iOS9) and SpriteKit, try the following.

class GameScene: SKScene {
    override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
        let singleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target:self, action:#selector(self.handleSingleTap:))
        singleTap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1
        singleTap.addTarget(self, action:#selector(self.handleSingleTap))
        view.userInteractionEnabled = true
        view.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)
    }
    //event handler
    func handleSingleTap(sender:UITapGestureRecognizer){
        print("tapped")
    }
}
