How to have a UISwipeGestureRecognizer AND UIPanGestureRecognizer work on the same view

Question

How would you setup the gesture recognizers so that you could have a UISwipeGestureRecognizer and a UIPanGestureRecognizer work at the same

Answer 1

By default, when the user attempts to swipe, the gesture is interpreted as a pan. This is because a swiping gesture meets the necessary conditions to be interpreted as a pan (a continuous gesture) before it meets the necessary conditions to be interpreted as a swipe (a discrete gesture).

You need to indicate a relationship between two gesture recognizers by calling the requireGestureRecognizerToFail: method on the gesture recognizer that you want to delay

[self.panRecognizer requireGestureRecognizerToFail:self.swipeRecognizer];
