How to add swipe gesture for uilabel inside tableview in ios swift?

Question

I am trying to creating check list in a table view. Inside table view radio button and UILabel, here adding swipe gesture to UILabel. For single swipe of UILabel will show radio button or double swipe of UILabel will show dash line.

I have tried of adding gesture to UILabel inside table by using selector method, it print successfully but UILabel is not swiping.

Here is the code tried of swiping UILabel:

In viewDidLoad:

let gestureRec = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(didTap(sender:)))
    tableView.addGestureRecognizer(gestureRec)
    gestureRec.delegate = self as? UIGestureRecognizerDelegate

And created function called didTap:

     @objc func didTap(sender : UISwipeGestureRecognizer)
      {
      if sender.state == .ended {
        let location = sender.location(in: self.tableView)
        let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForRow(at: location)
        var cell = self.tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath!) as! textCell
        print("swipe")
        cell.labelView.frame(forAlignmentRect: CGRect(x: 10, y: 8, width: 20, 
     height: 15))

    }
   }

Try this code. Tested and working fine 100 %

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath)
    cell.textLabel?.text = tableDataSource[indexPath.row]
    cell.textLabel?.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    let swipeLeft = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.labelSwipedLeft(sender:)))
    cell.textLabel?.addGestureRecognizer(swipeLeft)
    return cell

@objc func labelSwipedLeft(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    print("labelSwipedLeft called")
  }

See the output

Additional: If you want to detect which row's label was tapped, then assign a tag to the label in cellForRowAt like

cell.textLabel?.tag = indexPath.row

And get the row index in the function labelSwipedLeft using

print("labelSwipedLeft called for row \(sender.view!.tag)")
