Iphone – UIViewController subclass not receiving touchesBegan iphone ipad

I'm not sure what the state is when touchesEnded (in terms of rotation) and I'm assuing you chose degreesToRadians(-130) to try and do it partially and expect the next method to do the rest. This should be a better solution that hopefully yields the result you're expecting. I'm not sure what cadran is or why you're rotating that, so I'll just rotate the wheel.

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES];
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.2];
    wheel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degreesToRadians(-130));
    // I would recommend that the degrees you rotate be half of whatever your rotation is.
    // this would make the wheel rotate to the home position more evenly
    [UIView setAnimationDelegate:self];
    [UIView setAnimationDidStopSelector:@selector(animatewheelViewToCenter:finished:context:)];
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

- (void)animatewheelViewToCenter:(NSString *)animationID finished:(NSNumber *)finished context:(id)context {
    [UIView setAnimationBeginsFromCurrentState:YES]; // you might need to make this NO
    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIViewsetAnimationDuration:0.2];
    wheel.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
    [UIView commitAnimations];
}

EDIT: Actually, I would probably make the rotation (in the example -130 degrees) slightly more than what half would be, because CGAffineTransformIdentity is gonna take the shortest path to go back to regular, so if you go exactly 1/2 way, it may not go the correct direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) that you want.

The tap events are handled not by the touches method callbacks in UIView, but as targets-actions in UIControl. UIControl is a subclass of UIView, and adds abstractions for taps, drags and other common user actions, so that you do not need to implement the logic yourself.

To add a action for the user tapping a control simply do this:

[myControl addTarget:self
              action:@selector(didSelectFoo:) 
           forEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

This is usable both if you subclass UIControl yourself, or if you use any of the provided controls such as UIButton, UITextField, UILabel, etc.
