UICollectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath not called when tapped on UITextView

Question

I have a UICollectionView with custom cells- They have a UITextView that mostly covers the entire cell. This presents a problem when using didSel

Answer 1

I ran into this problem when I had a scroll view taking up my entire collection view cell. While all the solutions above probably work fine, I came up with my own elegant work-around. I put a 'select' label under my scroll view. Since the label is not part of the scroll view, it passes the tap event on to the collection view. It also serves as a nice indicator that an action is required of the user.
