Pan-able view not staying where I pan it using UIPanGestureRecognizer - uipangesturerecognizer

Question

I'm trying to use a UIPanGestureRecognizer to move an object around the screen. My panning code seems to work fine. I can move my object around with ease. But when I let go of the object it snaps back to its original position; it doesn't stay where I pan it.
The pan-able object is a simple UIView, and it's being moved around in my main self.view field. I added the UIPanGesture using the objects palate in XCode, not manually in code in viewDidLoad for example.
In state = began, I apply a transform to bump the scale up slightly. (This ALSO doesn't appear to be working, but that's another story).
Can anyone please tell me where I'm going wrong?
- (IBAction)bucketTouch:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
switch ([recognizer state]) {
case UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan:{
[UIView animateWithDuration:.2 animations:^{
self.pail.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.25, 1.25);
}];
}
break;
case UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged:{
CGPoint centerPoint = self.pail.center;
CGPoint newPoint = [recognizer translationInView:self.view];
CGPoint finalPoint = CGPointMake(centerPoint.x + newPoint.x, centerPoint.y + newPoint.y);
self.pail.center = finalPoint;
[recognizer setTranslation:CGPointZero inView:self.view];
}
break;
case UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded:{
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:self.pail];
[UIView animateWithDuration:.2 animations:^{
self.pail.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
}];
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
Thanks in advance. :-)

Answer 1

I figured out that the view WAS indeed moving properly, but the CGAffineTransformIdentity was placing it back to its original frame position upon recognizer.state = ended.
