Question

I\'m trying to create a UIButton using Swift. It compiles fine and I can see my button in the simulator, but when I click it, nothing happens. This is the code I am using:

Answer 1

I see it is an old question but I just faced very similar problem yesterday. My buttons were highlighted on touch but not firing the action.

I have two view controllers. One view covers the others view and button is on the top view.

eg.

• Rootviewcontroller has back view

• Topviewcontroller has top view

The button on top view does not call the action if I don't add the topviewcontroler as childviewcontroller of the rootviewcontroller. After adding the topviewcontroller as childviewcontroller it started to working.

So in short: just try to add the view controller of buttons superview as childviewcontroller to the parent views viewcontroller with the following method

func addChildViewController(_ childController: UIViewController)
