As others suggested, [tap setCancelsTouchesInView:NO]; does the trick. However, I want to make one thing clear:

If you think that you did not implement tapgesture and are curious about why you had to add your view into the protected views, check out your class because most probably you have inherited some class and that class includes tap gesture recognizer in it.

In my case, I did the following:

- (NSMutableArray *)tapProtectedViews
{
    NSMutableArray *views = [super tapProtectedViews];
    [views addObject:self.mTableView];
    return views;
}

Edit for Swift 4+

Assuming you have a UITapGestureRecognizer instance named tapGesture:

func disableTapGesture(){
    tapGesture.cancelsTouchesInView = false
}

Or you can:

if self.view.gestureRecognizers?.isEmpty == false{
    for recognizer in self.view.gestureRecognizers!{
        self.view.removeGestureRecognizer(recognizer)
    }
 }
