Current behavior:
When an element has both a "click" and "press" event listener, it seems like both events are fired from a long press on iOS. On Android, it seems the click event is fired from a short click and the press event is fired from a long press. This latter functionality seems correct to me.

Interestingly enough, on a short click, iOS does not fire the "press" event. Only on a long press does iOS fire both events.

Expected behavior:
iOS should function as Android does. iOS should not fire both a "click" and a "press" event from a long press.

Steps to reproduce:
This is example code but running it on the web functions correctly. I only see this issue on an iOS device or emulator. In the below example, open the console and try clicking or long pressing on the "address".

If making mobile apps, (tap) might be better. This is because when using (click) the action always executes, even when tapping accidently. The (tap) won't execute if the user holds it for a longer period. And if you want to have a button that needs to be clicked for a longer period of time you can use the (press).

From the above description, it sounds like iOS is correct as click is always fired and tap and press are mutually exclusive. So we need click to fire on long presses on Android to be consistent. I found the original link here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39628718/ionic2-tap-vs-click/39632430
