How to make tableViewCell handle both tap and longPress?

Based on Bala Answer here is on swift 4 or 5

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let longPress = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(longpress))
        tableView.addGestureRecognizer(longPress)
    }

Here is the method

@objc func longPress(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {

            if sender.state == UIGestureRecognizer.State.began {
                let touchPoint = sender.location(in: tableView)
                if let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) {
                    // your code here, get the row for the indexPath or do whatever you want
                    print("Long press Pressed:)")
                }
            }


        }

Don't add the UILongPressGestureRecognizer to Cell. Add it to UITableView in viewDidLoad

let longPress = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleLongPress(sender:)))
tableView.addGestureRecognizer(longPress)

Get the touched cell index by

@objc private func handleLongPress(sender: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
    if sender.state == .began {
        let touchPoint = sender.location(in: tableView)
        if let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) {
            // your code here, get the row for the indexPath or do whatever you want
        }
    }
}

Instead of UITapGestureRecognizer use didSelectRowAtIndexPath is a better way

Update Swift4:

Add these lines in viewDidLoad of your viewController class (in this example class's name is YourViewController)

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let longPressRecognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(ViewController.longPress(longPressGestureRecognizer:)))
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(longPressRecognizer)
}

Now add this func in your viewController class

@objc func longPress(longPressGestureRecognizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {

    if longPressGestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.began {
        let touchPoint = longPressGestureRecognizer.location(in: self.view)
        if let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: touchPoint) {
            // add your code here
            // you can use 'indexPath' to find out which row is selected
        }
    }
}
