UITapGestureRecongnizer during animation failed - ios

Question

I am using the following code to generate an image which is touchable.
I read some posts here saying UIButton cannot be used during animation so I changed to use tap gesture. I have also added the UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction in option. But I still cannot make it work. May I know the reason and any solution?
hit1 = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(539,227,50,50)];
hit1.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"roles.png"];
UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(hitenermy:)];
[hit1 addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
[hit1 setMultipleTouchEnabled:YES];
[hit1 setUserInteractionEnabled:YES];
hit1.userInteractionEnabled=YES;
[self.view addSubview:hit1];
[hit1 addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
UIViewAnimationOptions options = UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut | UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction;
[UIView animateWithDuration:15.0
delay:1.0
options:options
animations:^{
hit1.center = CGPointMake(hit1.center.x-210, hit1.center.y-60);
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
}];

You can use - (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event to get touch event.
I have shown for a single imageView but if multiple imageView are present then u can use tag to differentiate them.
you can get more from :UIButton can't be touched while animated with UIView animateWithDuration
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
hit1 = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(539,227,50,50)];
hit1.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"roles.png"];
[self.view addSubview:hit1];
UIViewAnimationOptions options = UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut | UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction;
[UIView animateWithDuration:15.0
delay:1.0
options:options
animations:^{
hit1.center = CGPointMake(hit1.center.x-210, hit1.center.y-60);
}
completion:^(BOOL finished){
}];
}
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint touchLocation = [touch locationInView:self.view];
for (UIImageView *imageView in self.view.subviews)
{
if ([imageView.layer.presentationLayer hitTest:touchLocation])
{
NSLog(#"Clicked");
break;
}
}
}
