iPhone: Detecting Tap in MKMapView

Question

How do I detect a single tap on an instance of MKMapView? Do I have to subclass MKMapView and then override the touchesEnded method?

Answer 1

my 2 cents for swit 5.x:

override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set, with event: UIEvent?) {
    if let touch = touches.first {
        let v = touch.view
        let ssv = v?.superview?.superview
        if ssv === self.mapView{
            searchBar.resignFirstResponder()
        }
    }
}

it works. but honestly can break if apple changes layers of views. better a recognizer.
