How Can I add Shake Gesture in Cocos2d CCLayer?

Question

I've tried using shake Gesture Recognition wrapper to detect the shake gesture. I've also tried to implement the code suggested in the Geeky Lemon. But I am unable to handle the shake gesture. Is there any way to get the shake gesture recognized?

Thank you!

EDIT 1:

The code is done by the help of the shake Gesture Recognition wrapper demo.

in the init method

ShakeDispatcher * dispatcher = [ShakeDispatcher sharedInstance];
[dispatcher addShakeListener:self];    
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector]view] addGestureRecognizer:dispatcher];

-(void)motionBegan:(UIEventSubtype)motion withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {  
    if ( event.subtype == UIEventSubtypeMotionShake ){      
        NSLog(@"Shake detected");   
    } 
}

Create your gesture recogniser the normal way and then add it like so

[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] view] addGestureRecognizer:shakeGesture];

You've to use ShakeEnabledUIWindow instead of UIWindow. In your AppDelegate you need to import the file and you need to create instance for that window, like

#import "ShakeEnabledUIWindow.h"

Then create instance for ShakeEnabledUIWindow

@property (strong, nonatomic) ShakeEnabledUIWindow *window;

Now it'll work. Try these link for implementing your Shake Gesture.
