SwiftUI provides gesture modifier to implement tap gesture on a view. Multiple gesture can be achieved though adding count numbers.

To try it out let’s create a view and add a tap gesture recogniser

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Circle()
            .fill(Color.red)
            .frame(width: 50, height: 50, alignment: .center)
            .onTapGesture {
                print("Circle tapped")
            }
    }
}

To detect multiple taps, we need to pass number of taps in count parameter

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Circle()
            .fill(Color.red)
            .frame(width: 50, height: 50, alignment: .center)
            .onTapGesture(count: 2) {
                print("Double tap on the circle")
            }
    }
}
