@rupalc found any fix to your case? I too don't have multiple dequeing but am getting the crash func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell { let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: MyCollectionViewCell.typeName, for: indexPath) as! MyCollectionViewCell let viewModel = MyViewModel() cell.configureCell(viewModel: viewModel) cell.layoutIfNeeded() return cell }
