Can't use Long Press gesture recognizers on SfAutoComplete ItemTemplate

[Pedro Reglero]

As the title says, the long press gesture recognizer doesn't work when I use it inside the ItemTemplate of the autocomplete.

It works on Android but not on iOS.

I attach solution with an example.

Execute it, click on "LOAD SFAUTOCOMPLETE" and you will se an SfAutoComplete control in the center of the page, click on it and write something.

It will autocomplete two suggestions, long press on any item and it should hit the breakpoint:

It will hit the breakpoint on Android but not on iOS.

Now, you can try clicking in the "Load label with gesture recognizers" button, on the main page. You will see a label, now you can long press that label and it will fire the event both on iOS and Android.

I'd like to get the long press event working inside an ItemTemplate of the SfAutoComplete control.

I can't attach the whole project so I link it here: Download

Hi Pedro,

Thanks for the patience.

We would like to let you know that after further analysis from our side in iOS, we're using UITableView to display the list of items. When you add the items using ItemTemplate, it's one of the children in the UITableView cell, so we couldn't handle the gesture for both the child(custom view) and parent(UITableView) view at the same time. If you requirement is a long-press gesture recognizer with the SfAutoComplete ItemTemplate, this will be considered internally as a request for a feature.

Please let us know, if you have any other concerns.

Hello.

Yes, I knew this, I thought that this https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/18000 , was already a feature request.

If it isn't, I would like to have this functionality.
