Touch code works when I step thru with the debugger, but not on normal execution.

I’m trying to port my game from OpenGL to Android…I was using the mouse in OpenGL, but now I’m doing touch. Unfortunately my tap code only works when I set a break point and step thru it in the debugger. But otherwise it doesn’t work at all.

I have this defined:

    private TouchLocation touch;
    private bool tap => touch.State == TouchLocationState.Released;

Then in my Update method I have this defined:

                var touchCollection = TouchPanel.GetState();
                touch = touchCollection.Count > 0 ? touchCollection[0] : default(TouchLocation);
                var point = dragonDrop.viewport.PointToScreen((int)touch.Position.X, (int)touch.Position.Y);
                
                if (tap) { ... }

I’m confused, why would the code work when I step thru but not at all otherwise? I’m debugging it on a real droid tablet with KitKat 4.4.

It seems like when I change it to TouchLocationState.Moved the code works as expected, but I am just tapping on the item and not actually dragging it idk why it would fire that particular event? In other areas of my code I’m using the Released state and it works as expected. So I’m kind of confused.
