TableView didSelectRowAt not being called when nested in views - ios

Question

I have the following structure UIViewController -> UIView -> UIView -> UITableView (it's a dropdown menu), and the method didSelectRowAt is not being called, but if I skip the first view (that after VC), everything working perfectly. I saw a similar question here where was stated that you should use the method bringSubviewToFront but I tried that and it's not working (maybe I did it wrong).
Here is my code:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let someView = someView()
someView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
self.view.addSubview(someView)
}
}
class someView: UIView {
public lazy var button: DropDownButton = {
let button = DropDownButton(frame: .init(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 40))
button.setTitle("Colors", for: .normal)
button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
button.dropView.dropDownOptions = ["1","2","1","2"]
button.dropView.delegate = self
return button
}()
init() {
super.init(frame: .init(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 100))
addSubview(button)
addSubview(scrollButtons)
setUpConstraints()
}
}
class DropDownButton: UIButton {
public var dropView = DropDownView()
private var height = NSLayoutConstraint()
private var isOpen = false
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
self.backgroundColor = UIColor.darkGray
dropView = DropDownView.init(frame: CGRect.init(x: 0, y: 0, width: 0, height: 0))
dropView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
override func didMoveToSuperview() {
self.superview?.addSubview(dropView)
self.superview?.bringSubviewToFront(dropView)
dropView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
dropView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
dropView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.widthAnchor).isActive = true
height = dropView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 0)
}
func dismissDropDown() {
isOpen = false
NSLayoutConstraint.deactivate([self.height])
self.height.constant = 0
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([self.height])
UIView.animate(
withDuration: 0.5,

initialSpringVelocity: 0.5,

animations: {
self.dropView.center.y -= self.dropView.frame.height / 2
self.dropView.layoutIfNeeded()
}, completion: nil)
}
override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
if isOpen == false {
