Info button as UIBarButtonItem doesn't respond to taps

Question

I'm trying to programmatically add and info button to my app's navigation. However, it doesn't ever fire the action that I'm registering to it.

UIBarButtonItem* infoButton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight]];
    [infoButton setTarget:self];
    [infoButton setAction:@selector(infoButtonTapped)];

The button shows up in my nav bar, but clicking on it doesn't pass into infoButtonTapped

Answer 1

Add the target/action to the UIButton. The bar button item behaves differently when it's set up from a UIButton.

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(infoButtonTapped) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *infoButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
