UIPageViewController Gesture recognizers

by

Here is another solution, which can be added in the viewDidLoad template right after the self.view.gestureRecognizers = self.pageViewController.gestureRecognizers part from the Xcode template. It avoids messing with the guts of the gesture recognizers or dealing with its delegates. It just removes the tap gesture recognizer from the views, leaving only the swipe recognizer. 

self.view.gestureRecognizers = self.pageViewController.gestureRecognizers;

// Find the tap gesture recognizer so we can remove it!
UIGestureRecognizer* tapRecognizer = nil;    
for (UIGestureRecognizer* recognizer in self.pageViewController.gestureRecognizers) {
    if ( [recognizer isKindOfClass:[UITapGestureRecognizer class]] ) {
        tapRecognizer = recognizer;
        break;
    }
}

if ( tapRecognizer ) {
    [self.view removeGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
    [self.pageViewController.view removeGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
}

Now to switch between pages, you have to swipe. Taps now only work on your controls on top of the page view (which is what I was after).
