uitableview - iOS Today Extension Table View Rows only detects taps on a label

Question

I am having the weirdest of problems with a today widget on iOS.

I have a simple widget with a table view like this: https://grab.edr.io/2e557aa43a34b7460b1eac44cbcaf596.png

The thing is, it only responds to touches (the rows only get highlighted) when I tap one of the labels, and not the rest of the row (which is blank).

This happens on both device and simulator.

I am detecting touches using tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:, so I am not being able to see a problem there.

Here is a screenshot of my storyboard: https://grab.edr.io/c2dc09db20ded2b471dc94ea339141b8.png

Any help or idea would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Got an answer back from Apple's Developer Support.

It's an iOS 8 bug.

A workaround for it is to set the opacity of the widget to 0.01.
