你需要用目标和动作初始化UITapGestureRecognizer，如下所示:

let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.handleTap(_:)))
myView.addGestureRecognizer(tap)

然后，你应该实现处理程序，它将在每次tap事件发生时被调用:

@objc func handleTap(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer? = nil) {
    // handling code
}

所以现在调用你的点击手势识别器事件处理程序就像调用一个方法一样简单:

handleTap()

我是在swift上的Xcode 6.4上完成的。见下文。

var view1: UIView!

func assignTapToView1() {          
  let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector("handleTap"))
  //  tap.delegate = self
  view1.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
  self.view .addSubview(view1)

...
}

func handleTap() {
 print("tap working")
 view1.removeFromSuperview()
 // view1.alpha = 0.1
}

试试下面的swift代码(在Xcode 6.3.1中测试):

    import UIKit

    class KEUITapGesture150427 : UIViewController {
      var _myTap: UITapGestureRecognizer?
      var _myView: UIView?

      override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor();

        _myTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self
, action: Selector("_myHandleTap:"))
        _myTap!.numberOfTapsRequired = 1

        _myView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(100, 200, 100, 100))
        _myView!.backgroundColor=UIColor.blueColor()
        _myView!.layer.cornerRadius = 20
        _myView!.layer.borderWidth = 1
        _myView!.addGestureRecognizer(_myTap!)
        view.addSubview(_myView!)
      }

      func _myHandleTap(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
        if sender.state == .Ended {
          println("_myHandleTap(sender.state == .Ended)")
          sender.view!.backgroundColor
          = UIColor(red: CGFloat(drand48()), green: CGFloat(drand48()), blue: CGFloat(drand48()), alpha: 1.0);
        }
      }
    }

注意，你的目标可以是UIResponder的任何子类，参见(在Xcode 6.3.1中测试):

    import UIKit

    class MyTapTarget  : UIResponder {
      func _myHandleTap2(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
        if sender.state == .Ended {
          println("_myHandleTap2(sender.state == .Ended)")
          sender.view!.backgroundColor
            = UIColor(red: CGFloat(drand48()), green: CGFloat(drand48()), blue: CGFloat(drand48()), alpha: 1.0);
        }
      }
    }

    class KEUITapGesture150427b : UIViewController {
      var _myTap: UITapGestureRecognizer?
      var _myView: UIView?
      var _myTapTarget: MyTapTarget?

      override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor();

        _myTapTarget = MyTapTarget()
        _myTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: _myTapTarget!
, action: Selector("_myHandleTap2:"))
        _myTap!.numberOfTapsRequired = 1

        _myView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(100, 200, 100, 100))
        _myView!.backgroundColor=UIColor.blueColor()
        _myView!.layer.cornerRadius = 20
        _myView!.layer.borderWidth = 1
        _myView!.addGestureRecognizer(_myTap!)
        view.addSubview(_myView!)
      }
    }

xCode 9.3, Swift 4.0

class BaseVC: UIViewController, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate { 

      @IBOutlet weak var iView: UIView!

      override func viewDidLoad() {
          super.viewDidLoad()
          let clickUITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.onSelect(_:)))
          clickUITapGestureRecognizer.delegate = self
          iView?.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
      }

      func gestureRecognizer(_ gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer, shouldReceive touch: UITouch) -> Bool {
          return true
      }


     @IBAction func onSelect(_ sender: Any) {

     }
}

这是它在Swift 3中的工作原理:

@IBOutlet var myView: UIView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let tap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:#selector(handleTap))

    myView.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
}

func handleTap() {
    print("tapped")
}

试试下面的扩展

extension UIView {
    
    func  addTapGesture(action : @escaping ()->Void ){
        let tap = MyTapGestureRecognizer(target: self , action: #selector(self.handleTap(_:)))
        tap.action = action
        tap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
        
        self.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
        self.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
        
    }

    @objc func handleTap(_ sender: MyTapGestureRecognizer) {
        sender.action!()
    }
}

class MyTapGestureRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer {
    var action : (()->Void)? = nil
}

然后使用它:

submitBtn.addTapGesture {
     //your code
}

你甚至可以把它用于cell

cell.addTapGesture {
     //your code
}
