Failed to receive system gesture state notification before next touch

Question

I have a control that will switch two views alternatively in a view. ie, Two view controllers are added by sub view method in a container view. A pinch out gusture zooms in current view, and shows the second view. If wish to go to the previous view, a pinch out gusture will do that. The issue is that, the view doest not react for the gusture sometimes not always and a meessage

"Failed to receive system gesture state notification before next touch"

is printed out in the log. Any suggestion why this message is coming and view doesn't recognize the gesture?

CGFloat currentScale = [[[gestureRecognizer view].layer valueForKeyPath:@"transform.scale"] floatValue];

Answer 1

view doesn't recogonize the gusture

Register your guesture to recognize the states

UIPinchGestureRecognizer *pinchGuestureRecog = [UIPinchGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action: @selector(scaleHandler:)];
