Reactjs touchevents not working

Question

I am trying to trigger a class on touch tap. With onClick it works fine on desktop, but with onTap / onTouchStart / onTouchEnd the event does not get fired. I run React.initializeTouchEvents(true) before I render the components. The clickhandler is on a div element and I have set cursor: pointer. I am using a lonovo yoga 2 pro and an iPad for testing. In addition I use the react router. Anyone has an idea why it is not working?

Init:

React.initializeTouchEvents(true)
Router.run(routes, Router.HistoryLocation, function (Handler) {
  React.render(<Handler data={dummyData} />, document.getElementById('app'));
});

Component:

var Transaction = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function(){
    return ({showDetails: false})
  },
  toggleDetails: function(e){
    e.preventDefault()
    this.setState({showDetails: !this.state.showDetails})
  },
  render: function(){
    var itemClasses = "pl-transaction-item pl-transaction-status-"+this.props.data.status
    return (
      <li className={this.state.showDetails ? itemClasses + " pl-active" : itemClasses} >
        // here is the touch event listener
        <div className="pl-transaction-item-header" onTap={this.toggleDetails} onTouchEnd={this.toggleDetails}>
          <img src={this.props.data.img} alt="" /><span>name: {this.props.data.name}</span><span>status: {this.props.data.status}</span><span>date: {this.props.data.date}</span>
        </div>
        <div className="pl-transaction-item-details">
          <img src={this.props.data.img} alt="" />
          <ul>
            <li>name: {this.props.data.name}</li>
            <li>status: {this.props.data.status}</li>
            <li>date: {this.props.data.date}</li>
            <li><button>OK</button></li>
          </ul>
        </div>
      </li>
    )
  }
})

According to http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/events.html React does not have an onTap event listener.

Thus for onTap you might want to try to bind the onTap event on componentDidMount lifecycle, as done in http://facebook.github.io/react/tips/dom-event-listeners.html
