Description

Environment: iOS 4.2, Ti SDK 1.6, Mac OS

In the above environment, the switch click event does not fire. The following code demonstrates the issue. The same code works fine on Android.

Ti.UI.setBackgroundColor('#226');
 
var win1 = Ti.UI.createWindow({  
    title:'this is window1',
    backgroundColor:'#fff'
});
 
var switch1 = Ti.UI.createSwitch({
    value:false,
    top:30
});
 
switch1.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    Ti.API.info('the switch has been switched to: '+e.source.value);
});
 
win1.add(switch1);
win1.open();

Though it's understood on iOS that this is possibly working as intended, the issue is parity.

Tested on a Samsung Galaxy S2 and the iOS simulator using TiSDK 2.2.0v20120904101713, issue still valid.

   var win1 = Ti.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'this is window1',
       backgroundColor:'#fff'
   });
    
   var switch1 = Ti.UI.createSwitch({
       value:false,
       top:30
   });
    
   switch1.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
       alert('the switch has been switched to: '+e.source.value);
   });
    
   win1.add(switch1);
   win1.open();

This issue is invalid. Switch-controls are not supposed to fire click-events for changed values. As the [docs say](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Switch-event-change), the change event is supposed to handle the changed values.

[~hansknoechel] Could we hide the click event in the docs? If it doesn't do anything, should it be documented?
Hans Knöchel 2016-08-29

Added the docs-phrase [here](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/8284) by referencing the TiUIView docs and adding a note about using the correct event.
