ios - Swift 2.2 #selector in protocol extension compiler error

Question

I've got a protocol extension it used to work perfectly before swift 2.2.

Now I have a warning that tells me to use the new #selector, but if I add it

no method declared with Objective-C Selector.

I tried to reproduce the issue in this few lines of code, that can be easily copy and paste also into playground

  protocol Tappable {
    func addTapGestureRecognizer()
    func tapGestureDetected(gesture:UITapGestureRecognizer)
}

extension Tappable where Self: UIView {
    func addTapGestureRecognizer() {
        let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:#selector(Tappable.tapGestureDetected(_:)))
        addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
    }
}

class TapView: UIView, Tappable {
    func tapGestureDetected(gesture:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
        print("Tapped")
    }
}

There is also a suggestion to append to that method in the protocol @objc, but if I do it asks me also to add it to the class that implements it, but once I add the class doesn't conform to the protocol anymore, because it doesn't seems to see the implementation in the protocol extension.
How can I implement this correctly?

I had a similar problem. here is what I did.

1. Marked the protocol as @objc.
2. Marked any methods I extended with a default behavior as optional.

3. Then used Self. in the #selector.

   @objc public protocol UpdatableUserInterfaceType {
     optional func startUpdateUITimer()
     optional var updateInterval: NSTimeInterval { get }
     func updateUI(notif: NSTimer)
   }
   
   public extension UpdatableUserInterfaceType where Self: ViewController {
   
     var updateUITimer: NSTimer {
       return NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(updateInterval, target: self, selector: #selector(Self.updateUI(_:)), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
     }
   
     func startUpdateUITimer() {
       print(updateUITimer)
     }
   
     var updateInterval: NSTimeInterval {
       return 60.0
     }
   }
