Unrecognized selector sent to instance Swift 3


I want to implement TapGestureRecognizer with the selector, below is the code where I added tapGestureRecognizer to my imageView

let tapFirstGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(assignImage(_:)))
firstImageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
firstImageView.tag = 1
firstImageView.addGestureRecognizer(tapFirstGestureRecognizer)

Here is the action method

func assignImage(_ sender: UIImageView){
    imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
    imagePicker.sourceType = .photoLibrary
    imageViewTag = sender.tag

    present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Compiler keeps saying

[UITapGestureRecognizer tag]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x6080001a7700'


Solution

  • The problem is with your method declaration and with assigning tag to the object of UIGestureRecognizer. Change your method declaration like this.

    func assignImage(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer)
    

    Or

    func assignImage(_ sender: UIGestureRecognizer)
    

    Edit: To access imageView object with UITapGestureRecognizer.

    func assignImage(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
        if let imageView = sender.view as? UIImageView {
    
        }
    }
    

    Note: You need to set tag with you imageView not with you UITapGestureRecognizer
