Having issue with number of taps in UITapGestureRecognizer

Question

I am trying to run a method by 2 times tapping on tv remote, consider tapping not clicking, but the touch surface does't recognize the taps. Instead, clicking two times runs the doubleTapping method.

UITapGestureRecognizer *doubleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleTap:)];
    doubleTap.allowedTouchTypes =@[[NSNumber numberWithInteger:UITouchTypeIndirect]];
    doubleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2;
    [self.view addGestureRecognizer:doubleTap];



- (void)handleTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender
{
    if (sender.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan)
    {
        // handling code
        NSLog(@"2 times");
    }
}

I am missing something?

I was forgot to mention the UIPressType value , now due to position of remote's surface (Up / Down / Right / Left) you can now detect user's tap direction and add numberOfTapsRequired to the action :

 UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleTap:)];
    [tapGestureRecognizer setAllowedPressTypes:@[@(UIPressTypeLeftArrow)]];
    [tapGestureRecognizer setNumberOfTapsRequired:2];
    [self.view addGestureRecognizer:tapGestureRecognizer];
