Question

I added two uiimageviews, one on another subview uiview (imageview1,imageview2). In the first view the top uiimageview is

Answer 1

Try setting setUserInteractionEnabled:YES before adding gesture recognizer.

[imageview1 setUserInteractionEnabled:YES]
[imageview2 setUserInteractionEnabled:YES]

[imageview1 addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
[imageview2 addGestureRecognizer:singleTap1];   

Update:

After the comment you have made I suggest you bring your views to the top before detecting the tap event. Because parent imageView is above and catches these taps.

[yourparentview bringSubviewToFront:imageview1];
[yourparentview bringSubviewToFront:imageview2];

Answer 2

UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(oneTap:)];
singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
singleTap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;
singleTap.delegate = self;
[imageview1 addGestureRecogniser:singleTap];
[singleTap1 release];

imageview1.userInteractionEnabled = YES; //disabled by default
