# delegate

The delegate of the gesture recognizer.

## Declaration

```swift
weak var delegate: (any UIGestureRecognizerDelegate)? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The gesture recognizer maintains a weak reference to its delegate. The delegate must adopt the UIGestureRecognizerDelegate protocol and implement one or more of its methods.
