Trying to call a long tap gesture and run a command but running into a SIGABRT error with the selector in the function. What isn't connected?

Question

My code:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    //Adding the long gesture
    let longGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(longTap))

    //Adding the gesture to the button
    hydrogenBoxButton.addGestureRecognizer(longGesture)

    //Adding a tag for the button
    hydrogenBoxButton.tag = 1
}

And then my function being called in the selector:

 @objc func longTap(sender: UIButton) {

        if sender.tag == 1 {
            print("Hydrogen long tap worked!")
        } else if sender.tag == 2 {
            print("Helium long tap worked!")
        }
    }

However, when I run this and try long pressing on the button I get this error:

-[UILongPressGestureRecognizer tag]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fbc5ce00680

I don't know if it's because I have named the tags wrong or something with the way I created the LongPressGestureRecognizer.

Are you using tapGesture and longTapGesture both? if not try to add longPressGesture.minimumPressDuration = 1.0 and check if it works or not? — Kishan Bhatiya, Jan 03 '20 at 04:49

Parameter is of type UILongPressGestureRecognizer

@objc func longTap(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer ) {
        let tag = sender.view!.tag
        if tag == 1 {
            print("Hydrogen long tap worked!")
        } else if tag == 2 {
            print("Helium long tap worked!")
        }
}

Thanks, I am no longer getting any errors. However, now the long press will not work. – Leo Marcinkus Jan 02 '20 at 21:05
