How to display 3 cells per row in UICollectionView?

Question

I used a custom flow layout according to this post. Here is my implementation:

@implementation CustomLayout
-(void)prepareLayout{
[super prepareLayout];
//    [self invalidateLayout];
if(self.collectionView){
    CGSize newItemSize=self.itemSize;

// Number of items per row
    int itemsPerRow=3;

    float totalSpacing=self.minimumLineSpacing*(itemsPerRow-1);

    newItemSize.width=(self.collectionView.bounds.size.width -totalSpacing)/itemsPerRow;

    if(self.itemSize.height>0){
        float itemAspectRatio=self.itemSize.width/self.itemSize.height;
        newItemSize.height=newItemSize.width/itemAspectRatio;
    }

    [self setItemSize:newItemSize];

}


}
@end

This is what I've got: What did I miss? I've come across some other SO posts but no luck so far.

Swift 3.0. Works for both horizontal and vertical scroll directions and variable spacing

Declare number of cells you want per row

let numberOfCellsPerRow: CGFloat = 3

Configure flowLayout to render specified numberOfCellsPerRow

if let flowLayout = collectionView?.collectionViewLayout as? UICollectionViewFlowLayout {
    let horizontalSpacing = flowLayout.scrollDirection == .vertical ? flowLayout.minimumInteritemSpacing : flowLayout.minimumLineSpacing
    let cellWidth = (view.frame.width - max(0, numberOfCellsPerRow - 1)*horizontalSpacing)/numberOfCellsPerRow
    flowLayout.itemSize = CGSize(width: cellWidth, height: cellWidth)
}
