Can't interact with anything inside a UITableViewCell, I'm being blocked by a bool somewhere, where is it?

Question

I'm constantly running into this issue, I don't know how to treat UITableViewCells as UIViews.

I added a button to my UITableViewCell:

    let btnWidth = self.contentView.frame.size.width * 1.1
    let btnHeight = self.contentView.frame.size.height * 1.6
    btnJoinChannel = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x:0,y:0,width:btnWidth,height:btnHeight))
    btnJoinChannel.setTitle("Join Channel", for: .normal)
    btnJoinChannel.setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal)
    btnJoinChannel.backgroundColor = .clear
    btnJoinChannel.addTarget(self, action: #selector(JRegionCell.loadRegion), for: .touchUpInside)
    self.contentView.addSubview(btnJoinChannel)

Buttons never work on UITableViewCells by default because some kind of touch gesture value overrides the new button.

What do I configure to prevent this override? I would like users to touch buttons inside UITableViewCells. Basically, my cells need to behave like UIViews.

Your button is bigger than content view. Buttons don't work if they are out of superview.
