Dragging SCNNode in ARKit Using SceneKit

Question

I have a simple SCNNode in ARKit and I am trying to drag it wherever I moved my finger on the phone. Here is my code.

 @objc func pan(recognizer :UIGestureR

I had a similar problem. Whilst you should use John's advice in the comments and use the pan gesture states correct (Began, Changed, Ended), I think the issue might be that you are grabbing the hitResult.node when you should be grabbing the parent of the node, or even the parent's parent, etc... I've had this issue and ended up fixing it by going up parent levels until the entire object was being selected instead of a part of it.
