UIView do not react on Apple Pencil

Question

In my app some of UIViews don't react on Apple Pencil. When I make touch by finger, all works fine. I supposed that this might be caused by adding new property type in iOS 9. And I tried to change the type of touches:

touch.type = UITouchTypeDirect;

But this is readonly property. Does exist any way to make equal touch by finger and touch by Apple Pencil?

How do I make my app react on Apple Pencil?

Teja, thanks for your attention, but what do you mean? Try to do this: `touch.type = UITouchTypeStylus;` ? UITouch is a readonly object, so I can't do this. Or did you mean something else? — mgv, Mar 11 '16 at 14:55
when your app recieve a touch event, did you try to see what is the touch type ? — Teja Nandamuri, Mar 11 '16 at 14:59

UITouch class determines whether the touch is made by a stylus or by a finger, as stylus have a pinpoint touch and finger has a soft corner touch. You don't have to specify any setting for apple pencil.

In the touches began method,

you can differntiate the touches as:

   if(touch.type==UITouchTypeStylus){
               //perform stylus action
   }
