you can just drag and drop a CollectionViewCell into the CollectionView. Have you tried this? — dirtydanee, Oct 26 '16 at 08:35

You can not add prototype cell in XIB file, you need to use StoryBoard to add prototype cell inside collection view. — Mohammad Zaid Pathan, Oct 26 '16 at 08:46

Prototypes Cells (UITableviewCell and UICollectionViewCell) are only available in storyboard.

If you want to use the xib for custom cell, create separate xib for each prototype cell. Assign custom class and Identifier to that cell.

Now, you need to register that custom xib to use it in Collection View.

[self.collectionView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"MediaCollectionViewCell" bundle:nil] forCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"MediaCollectionViewCell"];

You can easily drag and drop from file inspector

Or you can create custom xib cell
