Swift 3: Unrecognized selector sent to instance Xcode 8 [duplicate]

Question

I have programmatically created an UIView and added UIPanGestureRecognizer to it:

class ViewController: UIViewController{
    var preludeView: UIView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        initViews()
        createConstrants()

        let panGestureRecognizer = UIPanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: Selector(("handleTap:")))
        preludeView.addGestureRecognizer(panGestureRecognizer)
    }

    func handleTap(recognizer: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
        print("WORKING!!!!")
    }

    func initViews() {
        ...
    }

    func createConstrants() {
        ...
    }
}

But when I am touching the view Xcode is throwing an error:

2016-07-13 09:24:29.918 Draft_Hypa_02[661:83024] -[Draft_Hypa_02.ViewController handleTap:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x17d94a10 2016-07-13 09:24:29.921 Draft_Hypa_02[661:83024] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[Draft_Hypa_02.ViewController handleTap:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x17d94a10' * First throw call stack: (0x249cf91b 0x2416ae17 0x249d52b5 0x249d2ee1 0x248fe238 0x294ae9eb 0x290e984f 0x28f7aff1 0x294afd4f 0x28f3ba57 0x28f38017 0x28f78ec9 0x28f7867b 0x28f49125 0x28f476d3 0x24991dff 0x249919ed 0x2498fd5b 0x248df229 0x248df015 0x25ecfac9 0x28fb1189 0x93144 0x24587873) libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

However, if I remove argument in the handleTap function and remove the colon in the Selector(("handleTap:")), everything works fine!

Already spent a day to try to fix this issue and would be very appreciate for your help!

If you are using swift 3 your selector should be like this

#selector(self.handleTap(recognizer:))
