GestureRecognizer: placing pin on Map results in SIGABRT

Question

I'm trying to add a gesture recognizer to the map; but, when I launch the program, it crashes with the signal SIGABRT. Can you help me to figure it out because I'm really new to the iOS development?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    v.hidden=true
    let lpgr = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:"handleLongPress:")
    lpgr.delegate=self
    lpgr.minimumPressDuration = 0.5
    lpgr.delaysTouchesBegan = true
    self.theMap.addGestureRecognizer(lpgr)
}

func action(gestureRecognizer:UIGestureRecognizer){
    var touchPoint = gestureRecognizer.locationInView(theMap)
    var newCoordinates = theMap.convertPoint(touchPoint,   toCoordinateFromView: theMap)
    let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
    annotation.coordinate = newCoordinates
    theMap.addAnnotation(annotation)
}

The class itself is the delegated of the GestureRecognizer.

Answer 1

The func should be named handleLongPress instead of being named action:

I.e.,

func handleLongPress(gestureRecognizer:UIGestureRecognizer)
{
     var touchPoint = gestureRecognizer.locationInView(theMap)
     var newCoordinates = theMap.convertPoint(touchPoint, toCoordinateFromView: theMap)
     let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
     annotation.coordinate = newCoordinates
     theMap.addAnnotation(annotation)
}
