Using UITapGestureRecognizer to detect taps in tvOS

I'm trying to detect when a user taps on touch pad of the Siri Remote (not just clicks).

I've seen online that you should configure the recognizer like so.

UITapGestureRecognizer * const recognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(remoteInteractionDetected:)];
recognizer.allowedTouchTypes = @[@(UITouchTypeIndirect)];
recognizer.allowedPressTypes = @[];
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:recognizer];

The selector never fires. If I remove the allowed properties, the recognizer responds to clicks only.

Is this possible?

Edit: It is not like the suggested duplicate, because I am not looking for a particular button press or swipe gesture. All I want to know is when a user touches the touch pad, not actually presses it down. Just like the new tvOS 12 Aerial screen savers show the location on this event.

It turns out that the above code works on an actual Apple TV device, but not the tvOS Simulator in Xcode 10.0.
