Cannot edit UITextView inside custom TableViewCell

Question

I have a custom UITableViewCell and a table view. UITableViewCell has UITextView in it. editable is already set to true. But I cannot edit it.

Blue canvas is TextView and Purple canvas is UITableCellContentView.

Where am I wrong?

UPDATE:

I found my solution here: iOS9 - UITableViewCellContentView is covering up Controls inside Cell

I made cell.contentView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

and it works fine now. Thank you.

Do you mean that you are not able open keyboard on its tap? make sure userInterection set on for it — Ashwin Kanjariya, Mar 24 '17 at 11:52
I gave a proper height, also I cut the lorem ipsum text. userInteraction is true but keyboard does not open. — Burak, Mar 24 '17 at 11:57
make sure that there is no any view above the textview with user-interection enabled. — Ashwin Kanjariya, Mar 24 '17 at 12:08
Seems like UITableViewCellContentView is over TextView. How to arrange those views? — Burak, Mar 24 '17 at 12:19

In addition to making the MessageBox setEditable and setUserInteractionEnabled, you ALSO have to make sure those properties are enabled in your UITableViewController as well since the UITextView is nested within it!

tableView.userInteractionEnabled = true
cell.userInteractionEnabled = true
MessageBox.isEditable = true
MessageBox.userInteractionEnabled = true
