How to implement Grid Layout for ios

How to implement Grid layout for ios? There are similar layouts: <Grid> in windows xaml and <GridLayout> in android, but I failed to find any resource which covers how to implement similar thing in ios.

In brief: there are should be so called "Grid" in which I specify how many rows and cells are there and then I can specify that some particular control (for ex. TextView) should start at x column and span w columns, start at y row and span h rows.

Update: don't confuse GridControl with GridLayout, an example of GridLayout: enter image description here

I was able to implement GridLayout with help of the following blog article: https://web.archive.org/web/20170620013903/http://blog.stablekernel.com/creating-a-custom-uicollectionviewlayout

In brief I had to implement my own UICollectionViewLayout, but I didn't need the complexity as it was presented in the article.

The problem with this solution is cell reusing, which I don't need and there is no way to switch it off.

One more way to implement it is to inherit from UIView and override LayoutSubviews method and set children Frame manually.

Another option is to find out how xamarin implemented GridLayout and try to reproduce it. https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/blob/master/Xamarin.Forms.Core/GridCalc.cs

Use a UICollectionView for Grid Layout. Check this answer which shows the integration of UICollectionView in details

For such a layout also, you need to use collectionView itself, but use the sizeForItemAtIndexPath dataSource properly. Check this answer. Also try to customize UICollectionViewFlowLayout

Also this is an awesome library which also do the same thing for you
