Can I connect an object to more IBActions in iOS?

Say I have a button that, when tapped, should perform two actions:

func firstFunction() {
    ...
}

func secondFunction() {
    ...
}

I know that I can connect an object to one action. Though it doesn't seem like I can connect it to more than one. I tried dragging and dropping the plus circle (please see image) but it doesn't seem to connect to the secondFunction().

Functions shouldn't have side effects. Say, for instance, that I want to call firstFunction from somewhere in my code, but not secondFunction.

Solution

  • Yes. In iOS, most (all?) objects that use the target/action paradigm support multiple targets and actions. Just control-drag from the sender (or a specific sent event of the sender) to each action, one at a time:
