Is there an way to make an invisible UIButton that will still “be there” and catch touch events for my UIImageView?

Question

I thought to be clever and just put an transparent UIButton over an UIImageView with the exact frame size, so that I can wire it up easily with any event I like, for example

Answer 1

i also beleive you can assign an image to a button.

The image can take up the entire frame and can also have no other artifacts of the buttone if you set it up right.

check out the Property

UIButtonInstance.currentImage

That way you are not hogging your resources with elements that are essentially already there.
