How to pass a 'tap' to UIButton that is underneath UIView with UISwipeGestureRecognizer?

Question

I have a UIButton underneath a (transparent) UIView. The UIView above has a UISwipeGestureRecognizer added to it, and that is its only purpose - to detect certain swipe gestures

Answer 1

Can't you put your button on top of the view and add gesture recognisers to that button too?

In the end, your UIButton inherits form UIView via UIControl. Therefore there is practically nothing that you could do with a view but not with a button.
