UITableViewCell won't not receiving touches - ios

Question

I am implementing a view that displays a lot of information. The view is scrollable and inside of the view I implemented a non-scrollable table view holding user comments. I have all the auto-layout constraints and it appears to layout correctly however touches are not received below a certain row. It appears that the table view or something is blocking the views below from receiving the events but I am unable to trace down the issue.
I want the main scroll view's content size to grow as the comment table view grows. Keeping the post comment view at the bottom of the table view. Right now I can't select the last cell or the text field.

Here is the code from the table view implementation:
commentsTableView.delegate = self
commentsTableView.dataSource = self
commentsTableView.estimatedRowHeight = 82
commentsTableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
commentsTableView.sectionHeaderHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
commentsTableView.estimatedSectionHeaderHeight = 54
commentsTableView.estimatedSectionFooterHeight = 0
commentsTableView.sectionHeaderHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
commentsTableView.tableFooterView = UIView(frame: CGRectZero)
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return "Comments"
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return comments.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
if section != 0 { return nil }
let sectionTitle: String = self.tableView(tableView, titleForHeaderInSection: section)!
if sectionTitle == "" {
return nil
}
let view = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.frame.width, 54))
let title = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(60, 22, tableView.frame.width, 17))
view.addSubview(title)
title.text = sectionTitle
title.textColor = UIColor(red: (74 / 255), green: (74 / 255), blue: (74 / 255), alpha: 1.0)
title.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
title.font = UIFont(name: "ProximaNova-Semibold", size: 16.0)
view.layer.addBorder(.Bottom, color: UIColor.lightGrayColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.75), thickness: 0.5)
title.setNeedsDisplay()
view.setNeedsDisplay()
return view
}

Answer 1

You have to set the userInteractionEnabled to true to fire those events.
view.userInteractionEnabled = true

Answer 2

The Comment TextField is the last row of your comment TableView. So put comment TextField code in footer of the TableView as follows:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForFooterInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let commentTextFieldView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.frame.size.width, 50))
// Your Comment TextField code
return commentTextFieldView
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 50.0
}
There is an another way to assign Comment TextField view as tableView footer:
myTableView.tableFooterView = commentTextFieldView
