Gesture Recognizer Not Always Triggered

Question

I am trying to make the callout bubble of a map annotation clickable(I want the title to be clickable). There's no good way to do this from what I've seen so I've implemented a gesture recognizer on the map so that I can do a hit test to determine if the callout has been tapped. It works fine most of the time, but sometimes the gesture recognizer fails to trigger.

Here is my code

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    UITapGestureRecognizer* calloutRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]
            initWithTarget:self action:@selector(calloutTapped:)];
    calloutRecognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = false;
    [self.mapView addGestureRecognizer:calloutRecognizer];
}


- (void)calloutTapped:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
    CGPoint hitPoint = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.mapView];
    UIView *tappedView = [self.mapView hitTest:hitPoint withEvent:nil];
    // This passthrough button ends up consuming events in the callout
    // There seems to be no way to target it explicitly so we must check the class name of the view
    if([NSStringFromClass([tappedView class]) isEqualToString: @"_MKSmallCalloutPassthroughButton"]){
        if(self.mapView.selectedAnnotations.count > 0 ){
            [self clinicTappedForClinic:[self getClinicForAnnotation :self.mapView.selectedAnnotations[0]]];
        }
    }
}

I am testing using the iPhone 7 simulator

Answer 1

Add delegate to tapGestureRecognizer:

//add <UIGestureRecognizerDelegate> to .h 

//add this where you create tapGestureRecognizer...
tapGestureRecognizer.delegate = self;


// check tapGestureRecognizer working or not properly 
-(BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer 
    shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer
{
    return YES;
}
