Swift UICollectionView : didSelectItemAtIndexPath not responding

Question

i have UICollection view in a ViewController and it's not responding to didSelectItemAtIndexPath at all.

// super class
class ViewController: UIViewController, iCarouselDelegate, iCarouselDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource {

    @IBOutlet weak var collectionView: UICollectionView!


// delegate
override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // collection view delegate and datasource
        collectionView.delegate = self
        collectionView.dataSource = self


// did select item
        func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView!, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {

           print(indexPath)

        }

and this delegate from IB .

several guesses might be helpful:

did you accidentally overriding - (void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didDeselectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath?
make sure set collectionView.userInteractionEnabled to true
if some high priority UIResponder like UIGestureRecognizer and UIButton added to cell or its subview, corresponding method should be call instead

No, did you connect that '@IBOutlet collectionview' to the collection view in storyboard? If so the name in screenshot should be the same with variable "collectionview" rather than the default name "Collection View" – Chen Wei Sep 23 '16 at 23:34
i did connect IBOutlet collectionview @Chen Wei , and thanks at all . i solved my problem in another way .. i'm going to answer this question. – Abdullah Ibn Farouk Sep 24 '16 at 05:31

i had to use another way to run away from this issue and ship my project in time.

i made a button inside my cell and in this method "cellForItemAtIndexPath" and added target for it like so:

imageButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.imageButtonAction(_:)), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)

and passed the selected indexPath.row in this button tag like so :

imageButton.tag = indexPath.row

and this my Action :

func imageButtonAction(sender: UIButton) {

let categoryId = categories[sender.tag]["id"]
    let categoryName = categories[sender.tag]["category_name"]

    let mainCategory = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MainCategoryViewController") as! MainCategoryViewController
    mainCategory.mainCategoryId = categoryId!
    mainCategory.title = categoryName!
    self.navigationController!.pushViewController(mainCategory, animated: true)

}
