Swift 3 solution:
let singleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:#selector(self.singleTapAction(_:)))
singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1
view.addGestureRecognizer(singleTap)
let doubleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action:#selector(self.doubleTapAction(_:)))
doubleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2
view.addGestureRecognizer(doubleTap)
singleTap.require(toFail: doubleTap)
In the code line singleTap.require(toFail: doubleTap) we are forcing the single tap to wait and ensure that the tap event is not a double tap.
