Fetching SKProduct Price into UICollectionView Cell Label - ios

Question

I'm facing a issue where when I fetch SKProduct locale price on to the label.text of my UICollectionView, Its displaying correctly, however the prices jump around in different labels depending on how fast the page is being loaded.
TopUpViewController (UICollectionView) -> TopUpMoneyCell (MoneyLabel)
Any idea how to solve this? Currently I'm calling SKProduct in TopUpMoneyCell. I have a array of 4 in app product to be called, each with different value.
Should I call it from TopUpViewController instead? If so, how should I pull the data I got from TopUpViewController to TopUpMoneyCell?
Edit 1: Added UI Mockup, once again thanks for commenting.

Answer 1

Take a look at overriding the prepareForReuse() function in your TopUpMoneyCell. In that function, cancel any asynchronous calls that you may have started to load the price.

Answer 2

Without seeing any code, it's a little difficult to see what you're doing, but it sounds like you might want to have your TopUpViewController conform to the UICollectionViewDataSource protocol (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uicollectionviewdatasource?language=objc)
Then you could implement something like the following there:
- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView
cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UICollectionViewCell* cell = [self.testCollectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:#"SomeReuseID"
forIndexPath:indexPath];
// set your custom labeling on the cell here (you probably have a subclass)
return cell;
}
Don't forget to tell the UICollectionView what to use for its dataSource.
From what you are describing, it sounds like your cells are querying some source of data directly, so that when the UICollectionView chooses to reuse a cell, the labels are not in the order you intend.

Okay I managed to solve my issue. Would appreciate if anyone could help to simplify my code :) Below is an extract of the code.
