IOS UIActionSheet presented from LongPress gesture on a button erroneously requires double clicking buttons to dismiss?

Anna Karenina was right, and the link provided helped me figure it out. Basically, UILongPressGestureRecognizer is a "continuos gesture" which undergoes various state changes. I needed to check for the appropriate state, which in my case is UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan since I want the UIActionSheet presented after holding the button down but before you release and stop the gesture.

All I had to do was wrap the presentation of the UIActionSheet in an 'if statement' that checked for the appropriate state. Now it works as expected.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
