Can't tap SKSpriteNode - no touch detected ios

Question

I am pretty new to iOS, objective C and working with Xcode. I only did one simple news type app, but now I would like to create a game I had published on another platform.

Have you tried setting the name property of your spritenode?

In your initialization for mySKSpriteNode:

mySKSpriteNode = [[SKSpriteNode alloc] initWithTexture:sometexture];
mySKSpriteNode.name = @"thisIsMySprite"; // set the name for your sprite
mySKSpriteNode.userInteractionEnabled = NO; // userInteractionEnabled should be disabled

Then:

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    CGPoint location = [touch locationInNode:self];
    SKNode *node = [self nodeAtPoint:location];
    if ([node.name isEqualToString:@"thisIsMySprite"]) {
        NSLog(@"mySKSpriteNode was touched!");
        [node runAction:[SKAction fadeOutWithDuration:0]];
    }
}
