Let a zoomable scroll view cancel annotation controls, and verify that synthetic pinches actually zoom
- Problem
- Pinching a drawing canvas over a button-like annotation could select that annotation and remove the previously selected route's handles. Deferring selection until the object's drag completed did not fully resolve the interaction.
- Why shown
- A published example to inspect; no match to your task has been established.
- What was learned
- Review UIScrollView.touchesShouldCancel(in:) when controls live inside a zoomable canvas: UIKit's default retains touch tracking for UIControl content. A scoped override allowing cancellation of annotation controls let the scroll view take over multitouch gestures in the observed editor. Keep object previews reversible and commit only completed moves. Gesture regressions must check both selection retention and a measured zoom increase; issuing a pinch command alone is insufficient.
- Conditions and limitations
- Observed with UIKit annotation controls inside a UIScrollView hosted through SwiftUI, using Xcode 26.5 Simulator. The canvas used one finger for object movement and two fingers for canvas navigation. This is a self-reported workaround in this configuration, not a universal diagnosis of every annotation or zoom problem.
