Obj-C - UITapGestureRecognizer doesn't work after UIView is animated? - ios

Question

This is so strange - for some reason, when my UIView animates up
(once I tap my UITextView), my UITapGesture doesn't execute? E.g. tapping anywhere on the view once the view is animated and UITextView is active doesn't dismiss the animated view? However if I tap anywhere on the view BEFORE it animates, UITapGesture executes just fine - why is this?
ViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.replyField.delegate = self;
UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self
action:#selector(dismissKeyboard)];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:tap];
}
-(void)dismissKeyboard {
[self animateTextView:NO];
}
- (void)textViewDidBeginEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
[self animateTextView: YES];
}
- (void)textViewDidEndEditing:(UITextView *)textView
{
[self animateTextView:NO];
}
- (void) animateTextView:(BOOL) up
{
const int movementDistance = 206; // tweak as needed
const float movementDuration = 0.3f; // tweak as needed
int movement= movement = (up ? -movementDistance : movementDistance);
NSLog(#"%d",movement);
[UIView beginAnimations: #"anim" context: nil];
[UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState: YES];
[UIView setAnimationDuration: movementDuration];
self.view.frame = CGRectOffset(self.inputView.frame, 0, movement);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}

Answer 1

Once try like,
- (void) animateTextView:(BOOL) up
{
UIViewAnimationOptions options = UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction;
const int movementDistance = 206; // tweak as needed
const float movementDuration = 0.3f; // tweak as needed
int movement= movement = (up ? -movementDistance : movementDistance);
[UIView animateWithDuration:movementDuration
delay:0.0
options:options
animations:^{
self.view.frame = CGRectOffset(self.inputView.frame, 0, movement);
}
completion:nil];
}
