Disable gesture recognizer in AVPlayerViewController

Question

In AVPlayerViewController there is a feature for stopping the playback of a video and closing the AVPlayerViewController by swiping its view.

I want to disable this feature. I guess I need to disable a gesture recognizer!?

But I don’t know how to do this for the player.

I'm using AVPlayerViewController. Don't know if that's the same thing? @MilanNosáľ — Emily94, Jan 31 '18 at 09:05
I don't have time right now, but I'll take a look at it a bit later today — Milan Nosáľ, Jan 31 '18 at 13:25

I recently stumbled upon a similar problem. You can access the gesture recognizers from the contentView of AVPlayerViewController.

If you wanted to keep only the tap gesture recognizer, you might want to use a function like this:

extension AVPlayerViewController {
    func disableGestureRecognition() {
        let contentView = view.value(forKey: "contentView") as? UIView
        contentView?.gestureRecognizers = contentView?.gestureRecognizers?.filter { $0 is UITapGestureRecognizer }
    }
}

Work for me, thanks but is dangerous to use private property.QQ — Jerome, Aug 25 '20 at 08:58

Removing gestures didn't worked for me. Adding a new UIPanGestureRecognizer without any action worked.

extension AVPlayerViewController {
    func disableGesture() {
        let panGesture = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: nil)
        self.view.addGestureRecognizer(panGesture)
    }
}

Nothing worked for me, instead I used simply this one: (iOS 16)

controller.view.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
