uilongpressgesturerecognizer crashes even if not implemented

Question

I tried every search possible but I didn't find anything similar in one week. I am making an application that displays a table view. Cells (made by a custom class and with Interface Builder) can be dragged with a UIPanGestureRecognizer that is pu in the Cell's class. Everything works fine except that when I keep the finger pressed on a cell the app crashes with the errors:

-[UILongPressGestureRecognizer translationInView:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x94670a0
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[UILongPressGestureRecognizer translationInView:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x94670a0'

I know what it does mean (usually a wrong parameter sent to an instance), but I really don't know how is this possible, since there's no trace of a UILongPressGestureRecognizer in my code. I tried to intercept the LongPressGestureREcognizer EVERYWHERE (in the cell class, in the tableview's class, before the allocation of every cell) but the error is still the same (i looked at many threads here in the subject and trust me, syntax was right.

If you want any other documentation feel free to ask (it's my first post here I don't know exactly what I have to show).

Thank you for you precious help.

Ok the problem is still there sorry for bothering :( I somehow managed to set a breakpoint and print the stack trace. Here it is:

The app blocks on the code:

-(BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
CGPoint translation = [gestureRecognizer translationInView:[self superview]];

edit I solved by intercepting UILongPressGestureRecognizer, is it a safe way?

-(BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
if([gestureRecognizer isKindOfClass:[UILongPressGestureRecognizer class]]){
    return NO;
}else{
CGPoint translation = [gestureRecognizer translationInView:[self superview]];
// Check for horizontal gesture
if (fabsf(translation.x) > fabsf(translation.y)){
    return YES;
}
}
return NO;}

Answer 1

I solved this problem by checking the type of the gestureRecognizer you receive.

Sometimes I received an "UILongPressGestureRecognizer" instead of an "UIPanGestureRecognizer".

Try this:

-(BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer {
    if ([gestureRecognizer class] == [UIPanGestureRecognizer class]) {
        CGPoint translation = [gestureRecognizer translationInView:[self superview]];

        return YES;
    }
    return NO;
}

Update

Swift 2.0 version

override func gestureRecognizerShouldBegin(gestureRecognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) -> Bool {
    guard let panGestureRecognizer = gestureRecognizer as? UIPanGestureRecognizer else { return false }

    let translation = panGestureRecognizer.translationInView(self.superview)
}

Answer 2

In your:

-(BOOL)gestureRecognizerShouldBegin:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer

Try to change:

 CGPoint translation = [gestureRecognizer translationInView:[self superview]];

To:

 CGPoint translation = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:[self superview]];

Hope this helps.
