UIButton delayed state change

Question

I have a UIButton subview inside of a UITableViewCell.

When this button is touched, the user must hold the button for about a half second f

Answer 1

The problem is that your UIButton is inside a UITableView. This means that the table view has to determine whether your tap is going to be a swipe or if it's just a tap intended for the button. The table view has to delay sending a message to the UIButton until it knows that the user doesn't intend to swipe and therefore scroll the view instead of pressing the button.

If you don't need a table view, get rid of the UITableView.
