How to recognize swipe in all 4 directions?

by

You set the direction like this

  UISwipeGestureRecognizer *Swipe = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(SwipeRecognizer:)];
  Swipe.direction = (UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft | 
                     UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight |
                     UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionDown | 
                     UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionUp);

That’s what the direction will be when you get the callback, so it is normal that all your tests fails. If you had

- (void) SwipeRecognizer:(UISwipeGestureRecognizer *)sender {
  if ( sender.direction | UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft )
    NSLog(@" *** SWIPE LEFT ***");
  if ( sender.direction | UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight )
    NSLog(@" *** SWIPE RIGHT ***");
  if ( sender.direction | UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionDown )
    NSLog(@" *** SWIPE DOWN ***");
  if ( sender.direction | UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionUp )
    NSLog(@" *** SWIPE UP ***");
}

The tests would succeed (but the would all succeed so you wouldn’t get any information out of them). If you want to distinguish between swipes in different directions you will need separate gesture recognizers.

EDIT

As pointed out in the comments, see this answer. Apparently even this doesn’t work. You should create swipe with only one direction to make your life easier.
