UICollectionView only calling didSelectItemAtIndexPath if user double taps, will not call when user single taps

Question

I have a UICollectionView which is about the size of the screen. The UICollectionViewCells that it displays are the same size as the collectionView. Each cell has a UIImage

Answer 1

I just ran into this problem myself. Originally I had buttons and labels, then I refactored my UI and turned those button/labels into cells for a UICollectionView.

I eventually realized the buttons were consuming my taps. I had unthinkingly just moved my original buttons into the cell, and not turned it into a straight UIImage. I had destroyed the actions associated buttons and was just looking for cell selection so I took me a while to figure it out.

Stupid and obvious in retrospect, but took me a couple hours to realize what I had done.
