Simply by implementing the standard touch event methods the motion of a gesture can easily be tracked by an iOS application. Much of a user’s interaction with applications, however, involves some very specific gesture types such as swipes and pinches. To write code to correlate finger movement on the screen with a specific gesture type would be extremely complex. Fortunately, iOS 10 makes this task easy through the use of gesture recognizers. In the next chapter, entitled [[Detecting Identifying Gestures using iOS 8 Touch Screen Gesture Motions in SwiftRecognizers|Detecting Identifying Gestures using iOS 10 Touch Screen Gesture MotionsRecognizers]] we will look at this concept in more detail.
