Thank you for this tutorial Chris. What other resources do you recommend for learning more about design in iOS? I’d like to make more apps that are nice to look at and fun to interact with while still being functional (i.e. presenting some content or service other than nice looking transitions). ---

Nice tutorial. Can you please let me know how to achieve the animation without overlapping of images. It should shrink from bottom and expand from top part of the cell. It should not overlap each other like stack. I tried with many ways using this tutorial but unable to achieve. ---

Thanks for the great tutorial. How can make this to show the featured cell in the bottom instead of top. I want replicate this functionality to show the bottom cell as feature but unable to figure out the frames for the cells in prepare layout, calculating featuredItemIndex and calculating scroll offset to stop on the last visible cell. ---

In iOS 10 with Swift 3 the layout seems to be broken. Does anyone have an idea why that is? Thanks ---

It’s because of the prefetching feature of UICollectionView in iOS 10. This restores the previous behaviour for now: ``` if #available(iOS 10.0, *) { collectionView!.isPrefetchingEnabled = false } ``` ---

Thank you for this tutorial, Chris. I need a small help. I want to scroll at particular indexPath but It’s not working. ` collectionView!.scrollToItemAtIndexPath(NSIndexPath(forItem: 6, inSection: 0), atScrollPosition: .Top, animated: true)` I have used this code but It’s not working.If I am using the wrong syntax or is there any extra code is required for that. ---

Where does this fix go? I’m now crashing after converting to Swift 2.3 at cellForItemAtIndexPath when I scroll. Thanks, Dave ---

Has anyone tried adding a navigation bar to collectionview controller with the ultravisual layout? There seems to be some sort of error where the search bar is not clickable. Bar button items on the navigation bar work fine, but the embedded search doesnt seem to work at all and is unclickable. ---

I am new in swift. I have downloaded the final project and the list shows duplicate images at the same location. When converted into swift3 it shows error in UltravisualLayout.swift. The problem resolved by changing the method signature to `override func layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]?` Then I have to override another function in UltravisualLayout.swift > ``` > override func layoutAttributesForItem(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes?{ > return cache[indexPath.item] > } > > ``` But now it shows duplicate elements in list. Maybe I have to work with `override func prepare()` function ---
