UITextView does not detect touch input

Question

I have an app with a tab bar with several tabs. I inserted a new tab with a simpleUITextView. However, the text view does not seem to respond to touch inputs and I am not able to edit it. It just stays static with the default text and does nothing.

Answer 1

Nevermind. It was an issue with a class returning "NO" to canBecomeFirstResponder method. What a nightmare that took me hours to realize! Anyway, thanks everybody for your time and help and so sorry for posting such a stupid problem!

Answer 2

Select your text view and from attribute inspector make sure that userinteraction is enable and check other options also as screenshot.

Answer 3

From the Attributes inspector make sure that User Interaction Enable is checked.

Answer 4

Make sure both Editable and Selectable are enabled:

You can achieve this programmatically also:

myTextView.editable = true
myTextView.selectable = true
