How to get the UIView object at the location of UITouch from - (void)touchesEnded:withEvent:?

Question

I want to get the object at the location of where the touch is lifted (off the screen).

This will be used to implement a drag-and-drop and I have these methods for overriding:

- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet<UITouch *> *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet<UITouch *> *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet<UITouch *> *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event;

Using [[touches anyObject] view] in touchesEnded:withEvent: gives me the UIView object of where I first touched but not where I released my touch.

Using [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self.view] does give me the location of where the touch was released but I would have to map the coordinates to UIView.

May be this will help: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16328875/how-to-find-out-what-view-a-touch-event-ended-at](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16328875/how-to-find-out-what-view-a-touch-event-ended-at) — Ronak Chaniyara, Aug 30 '16 at 10:01
@Ronak Chaniyara AH. Thank you. I couldn't find it anywhere; I guess I was just googling the wrong words. — David Moe, Aug 30 '16 at 10:31
