UITableViewCell on left swipe doesn't trigger editActionsForRowAtIndexPath - objective-c

Question

I have a scrollview which contains different subviews, one of which is tableview. I also have a UITapGestureRecognizer and UISwipeGestureRecognizer initialized on the scroll view. The tableview uses a nib to initialize its cell.
What I would like to do is that, when I swipe the cell to the left, I want a button to swipe in. I am able to trigger my handler when left swipe the cell. The problem is that it doesn't trigger the editActionsForRowAtIndexPath where I am handling the code to create a button.
Instead, it goes to editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath and ends executing showing a red icon with a minus sign to the left of the cell.
My swipe handler and related code is as below:
- (void)swipeLeftDirection:(UIGestureRecognizer*)gesture
{
if (!tblInviteesTable.editing)
{
CGPoint location = [gesture locationInView: tblInviteesTable];
iPath = [tblInviteesTable indexPathForRowAtPoint:location];
// quitEditing = NO;
OpenHouseTableViewCell *currentCell = (OpenHouseTableViewCell *)[self tableView:tblInviteesTable cellForRowAtIndexPath:iPath];
[currentCell setEditing:YES];
[tblInviteesTable setEditing:YES animated:YES];
[self tableView:tblInviteesTable editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:iPath];
}}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return YES;
}
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
NSLog(#"Handled editing style! %ld", (long)editingStyle);
} else {
NSLog(#"Unhandled editing style! %ld", (long)editingStyle);
}
}
-(NSArray *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editActionsForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if ([tableView isEqual: tblInviteesTable]){
UITableViewRowAction *button = [UITableViewRowAction rowActionWithStyle:UITableViewRowActionStyleDefault title:#"Resend" handler:^(UITableViewRowAction *action, NSIndexPath *indexPath) {
NSLog(#"Resending email");
// [_delegate listingAgentsView: self selected: indexPath];
}];
button.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
return #[button];
}
return #[];
}
Any help is greatly appreciated.
