Overriding method with selector 'touchesBegan:withEvent:' has incompatible type '(NSSet, UIEvent) -> ()'

Solution 1:

Swift 1.2 (Xcode 6.3) introduced a native Set type that bridges with NSSet. This is mentioned in the Swift blog and in the Xcode 6.3 release notes, but apparently not yet added to the official documentation (update: As Ahmad Ghadiri noted, it is documented now).

The UIResponder method is now declared as

func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent)

and you can override it like this:

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
    if let touch = touches.first as? UITouch {
        // ...
    }
    super.touchesBegan(touches , withEvent:event)
}

Update for Swift 2 (Xcode 7): (Compare Override func error in Swift 2)

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {
    if let touch = touches.first {
        // ...
    }
    super.touchesBegan(touches, withEvent:event)
}

Update for Swift 3:

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {
    if let touch = touches.first {
        // ...
    }
    super.touchesBegan(touches, with: event)
}

Solution 2:

With xCode 7 and swift 2.0, use following code:

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {

    if let touch =  touches.first{
        print("\(touch)")
    }
    super.touchesBegan(touches, withEvent: event)
}

override func touchesEnded(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {

    if let touch = touches.first{
        print("\(touch)")
    }
    super.touchesEnded(touches, withEvent: event)
}

override func touchesMoved(touches: Set<UITouch>, withEvent event: UIEvent?) {

    if let touch = touches.first{
        print("\(touch)")
    }
    super.touchesMoved(touches, withEvent: event)
}

Solution 3:

Using Swift 3 and Xcode 8

override func touchesBegan(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {

}

override func touchesMoved(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {

}

override func touchesEnded(_ touches: Set<UITouch>, with event: UIEvent?) {

}

override func touchesCancelled(_ touches: Set<UITouch>?, with event: UIEvent?) {
// Don't forget to add "?" after Set<UITouch>
}

Solution 4:

It is now in the Apple API reference here and for overriding in xCode version 6.3 and swift 1.2 you can use this code:

override func touchesBegan(touches: Set<NSObject>, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
    if let touch =  touches.first as? UITouch {
         // ...
    }
    // ...
}
