UITableViewCell didselectrow event delay

i am subclassing `UITableViewCell` in my `UITableView`. i did it about a thousand times before but now i am trying to catch this delegate event : ``` - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath; ``` when the cell is touched this callback should be invoked. but i invoked only if i am pressing like 6 seconds or 6 times after the touch, but not every touch. the tableview is a subview of a subclassed `UIView` and i call this in the `awakeFromNib` : ``` -(void)awakeFromNib{ _table_view.delegate = self; _table_view.dataSource = self; } ``` the tableview draws itself just fine but this event is not working well. any ideas? here is the `UITableViewCell` subclass code .m ``` #import "FLBlockedPersonCell.h" @implementation FLBlockedPersonCell - (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier { self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier]; if (self) { // Initialization code } return self; } - (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated { [super setSelected:selected animated:animated]; // Configure the view for the selected state } - (void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted animated:(BOOL)animated{ [super setHighlighted:highlighted animated:animated]; } @end ```
