Issue with touchesEnded override for UICollectionViewCell subclass?

Question

Objective-C

My UICollectionViewCell subclass has a Boolean editingMode property. It is needed so that, among other things, in this "mode" the didSelectItemAtIndexPath event for the UICollectionView delegate does not fire. I override touchesEnded for this subclass like this:

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    if (!_editingMode) {
        [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
    }
    else {
        // My custom behavior
    }
}

As long as I don't enable editingMode everything goes fine and calling touchesEnded on super produces the expected result: didSelectItemAtIndexPath is called.
Then I do the following:
1. Set editingMode = YES.
2. I click on the cell.
3. I set editingMode = NO back.
4. Again I click on the cell.
After these actions, despite the fact that touch events are intercepted and touchesEnded for super is called, didSelectItemAtIndexPath no longer works.
Funny how the exact same code for a UITableViewCell subclass works as expected.
What do you think could be the problem?

Answer 1

Problem solved.
I rewrote touchesEnded like this:

- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
    if (_editingMode) {
        // Do my thing
    }
}

And I have already implemented ignoring the default behavior in editingMode in didSelectItemAtIndexPath:

GDCollectionViewCell *cell = [collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    if (cell.editingMode)
        return; // Do nothing in editing mode

Perhaps this should have been done from the very beginning.

That's just the restriction on the selection had to be done in
- (BOOL)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView shouldSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
