hitTest not working in SceneKit / ARKit

Question

I set up a tapGestureRecognizer to detect taps of an object in an ARSceneKit scene. The hitTest method that I set up in the handleTap method works fine when I'm very close to the object, but when I get farther away the hitTest method always fails.

Answer 1

After a ridiculous amount of time fiddling with this, I finally tried turning off ARSCNDebugOptionShowFeaturePoints on my scene view. I guess the stupid little feature points were getting in the way of the hitTest method.
