UIView does not have a member named 'delegate

A bit bizarre, but I can't seem to set a delegate for UIView objects. Where did that property go?

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    // Properties
    var subView: UIView!
    var subSubView: UIView!

    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        println("init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder)")

        subView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 100, height: 100))
        subSubView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 10, width: 80, height: 80))

        subView.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
        subSubView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor()

        subView.delegate = self    // Error
        subSubView.delegate = self // Error
    }
}

I need the delegate so that I can observe the lifecycle of my subviews.

UIView doesn't have (and has never had) a property called delegate.

This is why you're getting this error.

Are you sure you're not supposed to be using a custom subclass of UIView that you have written?

If not, why are you trying to set the delegate of a UIView. What is it you're trying to actually do?
