Put UICollectionView within UITableViewCell

Hi,

I asked a question about putting UICollectionView within UITableViewCell on
Apple Developer Forums (https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/98176), but
it doesn’t get many replies. I’m not sure if it’s ok to repost the question
here. I apologize if it’s not.

Here is the question:

Hi, I'm trying to create a table view with cell content like this

| Label                                                 |
| CollectionItem 1   CollectionItem 2  CollectionItem 3 |
| CollectionItem 4                                      |

Collection view item should auto wrap at cell end, both the collection view and
table view use automatic height.

I can somewhat achieve this effect by doing:
put the label and the collection view in a vertical stack view, make the stack
view's each edge touch table cell's corresponding edge.
disable collection view scrolling.
collection view's intrinsicContentSize returns layout's
collectionViewContentSize value.
in table cell's prepareForReuse method, I make the collection view reload its
data.

But the problem comes when each table cell can contain different number of
collection items: some table view cells have incorrect heights, clipping its
collection view. My guess is that when table cells get reused, they don't take
collection view's new intrinsicContentSize into account.

I tried calling sizeToFit/layoutIfNeeded/updateConstraints in cell's
prepareForReuse method, none of them works.

If I replace the collection view with a multiline label, and make each cell
contain different length of text, the cells all have correct heights.

I wonder why label are able to correctly resize cells? how can I make
collection views do the same?

Thanks very much.
