I have a UIScrollView in my UIViewController. I need to detect ANY kind of touch on it, and then do something. What else do I need?

- (BOOL)canBecomeFirstResponder {
    return YES;
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    [self becomeFirstResponder];
-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
    NSLog(@"TOUCHED"); // never happens
    for (UITouch *touch in touches) {
        if ( [touch view] == self.myScrollView)
            //do something
                Is the scroll view covering the whole view controller? If so, then it is first in the responder chain.

                Actually touches aren't detected anywhere on the view controller, even on the views that aren't scrollviews.

Subclass UIScrollView and implement your touchesBegan[...] code
there
Add a UIView to your UIScrollView and use the UIView's
    touchesBegan[...] delegate method
use a controller to set the UserInteractionEnabled property to true on a UIView class.
try imgTouchMe.UserInteractionEnabled = true; 
or follow
