Swift keyboard won't dismiss by touchesBegan

I am using

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
        self.view.endEditing(true)
    }

in order to dismiss the keyboard when the user taps somewhere, but it won't work. And I don't get any errors

My VC is built up: View > Visual effect view > view > scroll view > uiButton (it covers the screen and works as a exit/back button to prev VC) > Designable view (Here is where my login form is)

  1. In interface builder, drag a tap gesture recognizer on the view that you want it to dismiss the keyboard after a tap gesture or you can add the gesture by code :

    -(void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    UITapGestureRecognizer *gestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(tappedOutside:)];
    gestureRecognizer.cancelsTouchesInView = NO; 
    [scrollView addGestureRecognizer:gestureRecognizer];
}

  2. Add an IBAction to the tap gesture recognizer for example - (IBAction)tappedOutside:(id)sender;

  3. In the implementation file add :

    -(IBAction)tappedOutside:(id)sender {
   [self.view endEditing:YES];
}

Swift:

var tap : UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self,action: "dismissKeyboard") 
self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tap) 

func dismissKeyboard() {
   self.view.endEditing(true) 
}

First, Add delegate to your textfiled

yourtextfiled.delegate=self

Second, Set user interaction enable for Your UIScrollview and View 

 override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
            yourtextfiled.resignFirstResponder()
 }
