To build a collection view in UIKit, you can use the UICollectionView class, which provides a flexible way to present a collection of data items in a customizable layout. The session titled "What’s new in UIKit" from WWDC 2024 discusses improvements to list environments in UICollectionView, which can be useful when styling your collection view cells appropriately for different list styles.
For more detailed guidance on building collection views, you might want to explore the session on list improvements, which starts at the List improvements chapter of the "What’s new in UIKit" session. This section covers how UI collection view list sections and UITableViews now have the list environment trait set, which helps in styling cells appropriately.
If you're interested in creating custom visual effects or transitions in your collection view, the session "Create custom visual effects with SwiftUI" might provide some inspiration, especially if you're considering integrating SwiftUI components into your UIKit app.
