ALL UIButton's delay executing block - ios

Question

My project has UIButtons which are taking up to 1 second to execute the block of code.
I have buttons in other projects working fine, but for some odd reason, this project has an annoying delay.
The buttons are dailer numbers, so they need to be pressed quickly:
Heres an example of one:
- (IBAction)phonePressed:(id)sender {
UITapGestureRecognizer *backspaceGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:#selector(backspace)];
UIButton *one = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(menuShadowLayer2.frame.origin.x+10, menuShadowLayer2.frame.origin.y+10, 80, 80)];
one.layer.cornerRadius = 40;
one.layer.borderColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
one.layer.borderWidth = 1;
[one setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0/255.0f green:0/255.0f blue:0/255.0f alpha:0.3]];
[one setTitle:#"1" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[one.titleLabel setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
[one setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor]forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[one.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"STHeitiSC-Light" size:50]];
[container addSubview:one];
[one addGestureRecognizer:tap1];
...
- (void)dailed1 {
numberDailed.text = [numberDailed.text stringByAppendingString:#"1"];
NSLog(#"1");
}
Here is another button using UIControlEventTouchUpInside, which is just as slow if not slower.
UIButton *cancel = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(numberDailed.frame.origin.x, numberDailed.frame.origin.y+200, numberDailed.frame.size.width+40, 110)];
cancel.layer.cornerRadius = 15;
[cancel setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"cancel.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
cancel.clipsToBounds = YES;
[container addSubview:cancel];
[cancel addTarget:self
action:#selector(clearNumber:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
...
-(IBAction)clearNumber:(id)sender{
[numberDailed setText:#""];
}
I have used a UITapGestureRecognizer as using the Button UIControlEventTouchUpInside or TouchDown was even slower.
When pressing this button (one), I have to wait around half a second to a second before tapping again. This obviously creates frustration when your entering a number and half of the numbers haven't been added to the string.
I have set the UIScrollView to delaysContentTouches = NO;
The button highlights immediately. It simply wont execute the code straight away.
I have used button one as an example, but this applies to ALL UIButtons in my project.
Thoughts?

Answer 1

Where you are using the gesture,
[one addGestureRecognizer:tap1];
instead, you should use the button action
[one addTarget:self action: #selector(dailed1:)];

Answer 2

Couple things. Firstly, create your button like so:
UIButton *numberButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
numberButton.frame = CGRectMake(...);
Secondly, as others have pointed out, you do not need any gestures, but should attach an action/target to the button:
[numberButton addTarget:self action:#selector(numberDialled:) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
Thirdly, create your IBAction:
- (IBAction) numberDialled:(id)sender

Answer 3

The problem turned out to be with the MapBox API(Not Recommended) in my project, removing this sped everything up. All code was fine, have gone back to performing selector and removed the gestures.
