Question

I am using UICollectionsView insertItemsAtIndexPath and it is very annoying such that when I am scrolling on the UICollectionView and then it calls insertItemsAtIndexPath it slides with the item. I want this inserting to be seamless and just append it to the top without user knowing that something has been appended on top. How can I do this?

I suppose you will have to subclass the UICollectionViewFlowLayout and then in the - (UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)initialLayoutAttributesForAppearingItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)itemIndexPath just return nil. That way, it will directly place it to the final position and hence no animation should take place.
