This will work perfectly than the background color.

 - (void)viewDidLoad
    {
     [super viewDidLoad];    
    self.collectionView.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"imageName"]];
    }

Better to do it programmatically creating a imageView like this

let imageView : UIImageView = {
    let iv = UIImageView()
    iv.image = UIImage(named:"imagename")
    iv.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
    return iv
}()

and on the ViewDidLoad method

self.collectionView?.backgroundView = imageView

That'll make the background the image that you want

Yes it is possible I am using xcode 8.1 and it is possible in this version of xcode, I am not sure of other. for XCode 8.1 i have tried and working as expected.

you just have to drag UIImageView on UICollectionView and its done. Even it will automatically resize your UIImageView according to the size of your UICollectionView
