ios - UITapGestureRecognizer - single tap and double tap

Question

I am trying to add 2 UITapGestureRecognizers to a view, one for single tap and one for double tap events. The single tap recognizer is working as expected (on its own). But I don't seem to be able to get the double tap recognizer working.

Have tried to experiment with properties like : cancelsTouchesInView, delaysTouchesBegan and delaysTouchesEnded but still doesn't work.

When I double tap, the single tap recognizer would always be activated and the double tap event would also be sent to the super view. But the custom double tap recognizer does not seem to be notified at all.

Documentations seem to suggest that the 3 properties mentioned above could be used for the purpose. But I am just not sure what values should be set and on which recognizer(s) (single, double or both). Hope somebody familiar with this could help.

The following is the latest updated code block.

// ****** gesture recognizers ******

- (void)addSingleAndDoubleTapGestureRecognizersToView:(UIView *)view
{
    // single tap    
    UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget: tableViewController action: @selector(handleSingleTapOnView:)];                                 
    [singleTapRecognizer setNumberOfTouchesRequired:1];
    [view addGestureRecognizer: singleTapRecognizer];

    // double tap 
    UITapGestureRecognizer *doubleTapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget: tableViewController action: @selector (handleDoubleTapOnView:)];        
    [doubleTapRecognizer setNumberOfTouchesRequired:2];         
    [singleTapRecognizer requireGestureRecognizerToFail: doubleTapRecognizer];
    [view addGestureRecognizer: doubleTapRecognizer];         
}

- (void)handleSingleTapOnView:(id)sender
{

}

- (void)handleDoubleTapOnView:(id)sender
{

}

UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(doSingleTap)] autorelease];
singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1; 
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];

UITapGestureRecognizer *doubleTap = [[[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(doDoubleTap)] autorelease];
doubleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2; 
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:doubleTap];

[singleTap requireGestureRecognizerToFail:doubleTap];

Note: If you are using numberOfTouchesRequired it has to be .numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;

For Swift

let singleTapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(didPressPartButton))
singleTapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
view.addGestureRecognizer(singleTapGesture)

let doubleTapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(didDoubleTap))
doubleTapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 2
view.addGestureRecognizer(doubleTapGesture)

singleTapGesture.require(toFail: doubleTapGesture)
