One of my new projects dynamically generates a UI based on a DSL entered by the user. This leads to a host of defensive coding challenges since there is multiple code paths that can add controls and their associated gesture recognizers.
I found it helpful to add guard statements that stop recognizers from being added twice. The same approach is used for controls, but that is a different topic.
The below utility function can be used to check if the provided recognizer is already in the recognizer collection associated with an object.
The following code shows the utility function in action. All you have to do is incorporate containsGestureRecognizer into your guard statements.
Although really an edge case this was a fun bit of code to try out.
