Status:Open Resolved:No
Product:iOS SDK Product Version:9.2
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
A subclass of a generic superclass does not respond to a selector that points to a function that exists in an extension of the subclass. This prevents using a target-action pattern with functions in the extension. See attached sample code.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a generic superclass.
2. Create a subclass of the generic superclass.
3. Create an extension of the subclass with a function.
4. Call `respondsToSelector:` on the subclass pointing to the function in the extension.

Expected Results:
`respondsToSelector:` should return true.

Actual Results:
`respondsToSelector:` returns false.

Version:
Xcode 7.2

Configuration:
iPhone Simulator (iOS 9.2)
