UITextView not Scrolling in tvOS

I believe you want Indirect, not Direct touches. Here is how I set up my focusable, scrollable UITextView:

self.selectable = YES;
self.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
self.panGestureRecognizer.allowedTouchTypes = @[@(UITouchTypeIndirect)];

Here is what worked for me, in Swift 2.1:

myTextView.userInteractionEnabled = true
myTextView.selectable = true
myTextView.scrollEnabled = true
myTextView.panGestureRecognizer.allowedTouchTypes = [UITouchType.Indirect.rawValue]

Hope it helps.

Here's what worked for me in Swift 3.0.1, based on the previous answers:

• I had to subclass UITextView to override canBecomeFocused to return true
• I had to set panGestureRecognizer.allowedTouchTypes = [NSNumber(value: UITouchType.indirect.rawValue)]
• I had to set isUserInteractionEnabled = true in code - setting it in Interface Builder didn't seem sufficient
• I had to check "Scrolling Enabled" in Interface builder (setting isScrollEnabled = true in code would also work

A few other niceties I found:

• bounces = true made scrolling feel more natural (had to be set in code; IB setting not respected)
• showsVerticalScrollIndicator = true had to be set in code; IB setting not respected
• Overriding didUpdateFocus(in:with:) to change the background color to visually indicate the focus.
