Swift 3 Solution:

doubleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:#selector(self.doubleTapAction(_:)))
doubleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2


singleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:#selector(self.singleTapAction(_:)))
singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1

singleTap.require(toFail: doubleTap)

self.view.addGestureRecognizer(doubletap)
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)

In the code line singleTap.require(toFail: doubleTap) we are forcing the single tap to wait and ensure that the tap even is not a double tap. Which means we are asking to ensure the double tap event has failed hence it is concluded as a single tap.
