`override init(frame: CGRect)` never called?

I have a simple UIView subclass that looks like this:

import UIKit

class AngleViewManager: UIView {

    class AngleView: UIView {
        override init(frame: CGRect) {
            super.init(frame: frame)
            backgroundColor = UIColor.red
        }


        init(first: CGPoint, second: CGPoint, third: CGPoint) {
            // setup
            super.init(frame: CGRect(dimensions))
        }

        required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
            fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
        }
    }
}

When I initialize an AngleView instance within AngleViewManager like

AngleView(firstPoint, secondPoint, thirdPoint),

the background color is not red, and setting a breakpoint in the overridden init shows that it is never called even though I am explicitly calling it in my custom initializer which does get called successfully.

Am I missing something obvious?

You're calling the super class's (UIView) implementation of init(frame: CGRect).

Just change it to self.init(frame: frame)
