Conflicting UITapGestureRecognizer in UIView and for UITableView

Question

I have a UIView in which I added a UITapGestureRecognizer. Inside that view I also have a subview in which is basically some kind of a UITableVie

Answer 1

Set cancelsTouchesInView of your recognizer to NO. Otherwise, it "consumes" the touch for itself, and does not pass it on to the table view. That's why the selection event never happens.
