This is my code.

    let menuPressRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer()
    menuPressRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: #selector(VideoPlayerViewController.menuButtonAction(_:)))
    menuPressRecognizer.allowedPressTypes = [NSNumber(integer: UIPressType.Menu.hashValue)]
    self.playerController.view.addGestureRecognizer(menuPressRecognizer)
}

func menuButtonAction(ges:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    self.dismissView()
 }

Solution

This is my code and working for me.

Swift 3

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    let menuPressRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer()
    menuPressRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: #selector(YourViewController.menuButtonAction(recognizer:)))
    menuPressRecognizer.allowedPressTypes = [NSNumber(value: UIPressType.menu.rawValue)]
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(menuPressRecognizer)
}

func menuButtonAction(recognizer:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Swift 4

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    let menuPressRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer()
    menuPressRecognizer.addTarget(self, action: #selector(YourViewController.menuButtonAction(recognizer:)))
    menuPressRecognizer.allowedPressTypes = [NSNumber(value: UIPressType.menu.rawValue)]
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(menuPressRecognizer)
}

@objc func menuButtonAction(recognizer:UITapGestureRecognizer) {
    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)

    menuPressRecognizer.allowedPressTypes = [NSNumber(value: UIPress.PressType.menu.rawValue)]
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(menuPressRecognizer)
}

    self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
