Answer 1

I came across this Question of You asked long way Back. But no one has provided a basic answer to the question. It's a basic in Swift that:- Subclass must initialize its variables before it's super class initialization is complete.

Hence as Ankit Goel mentioned the crash :- "Must call a designated initializer of superclass"

Hence updated code would be:-

class ViewController: UIViewController {
 var tap: UITapGestureRecognizer?

override init(nibName nibNameOrNil: String?, bundle nibBundleOrNil: Bundle?)   {
print("init nibName style")
self.tap = nil
super.init(nibName: nibNameOrNil, bundle: nibBundleOrNil)
self.tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector(("handleTap:")))
}

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
print("init coder style")
self.tap = nil
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector(("handleTap:")))
 }}
