iPhone 5.0 and 5.1 Simulators Not Calling IBActions?

Question

I have an app with a target of iOS 5.0. Unfortunately, I no longer have any test devices with iOS 5.

I'd like to be able to use the iOS 5.0 and 5.1 simulators to do basic debugging, but for some reason, my IBActions aren't being called on these simulators.

Further info:

• Xcode version is 4.5.2

• All simulators are up-to-date (no pending updates/downloads available)

• We do have customers who use iOS 5 and 5.1, and they don't have any issues clicking the buttons (or at least, we haven't received any reports about such from them ; )

• On the iPhone 6.0 simulator, everything works as expected (pretty sure all IBActions are connected correctly)

Are these simulators just terribly buggy (is this a known issue)? Have others ran into this issue and know a fix?

Answer 1

Use UIGestureRecognizerDelegate to avoid effect of gestureRecognizer on a selectedView:

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)recognizer shouldReceiveTouch:(UITouch *)touch {
    UIView *selectedView = self.view;

    CGPoint point = [touch locationInView:self.view.superview];
    if (CGRectContainsPoint(selectedView.frame, point)) {
        return NO;
    }
    else {
        return YES;
    }
}

It turns out that a UITapGesture on self.view was capturing the touches and NOT forwarding to the subviews... for some reason, this behavior appears to be different in iOS 6 and iOS 5 simulators... user beware...

Most Probably issue i seen that..

• might be you not define your IBAction method in .h file.
• might be you connect two IBAction on one UIButton TouchUpInside.
• you also try uninstall app from simulatore clear xcode than might be solve your issue.
• reset you simulator contain.
• Check is any update of Xcode then you try to run your app then you got solution.

I am working on same configuration and i have no issue like yours..
