Swift: how to disable user interaction while touch action is being carried out?

In Swift 3.0 is:

self.view.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

To disable user interaction app-wide, use:

UIApplication.shared.beginIgnoringInteractionEvents()
UIApplication.shared.endIgnoringInteractionEvents()

(as of Swift 5 this is deprecated)

Try to get the view from the touch object and then dissable the user interaction on it.

touch.view.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
