View's Frame get called twice and causes clipping bug - ios

Question

I have a base UIView that has a visualEffectView as it's subview. I set the visualEffectView's view frame.height as 80. When presenting to ViewController, I want to reset its height to 120. Currently, when presented, the height is initially 120 but then quickly clips back down to 80. Shouldn't my frame in my ViewController override the frame set in the UIView? My frame in the ViewController gets called first but later it gets called from the UIView, causing the clipping bug.
class CardView: UIView {
let visualEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .light))
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
clipsToBounds = true
addSubview(visualEffectView)
}
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
visualEffectView.anchor(top: topAnchor, left: leftAnchor, bottom: nil, right: rightAnchor, paddingTop: 0, paddingLeft: 0, paddingBottom: 0, paddingRight: 0, width: 0, height: 80)
}
}
class ViewController: ViewController {
let cardView: CardView = {
let cv = CardView()
cv.imageView.clipsToBounds = true
cv.layer.cornerRadius = 18
return cv
}()
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
let superviewFrame = view.frame.height
cardView.frame = CGRect(x: 10, y: superviewFrame / 8, width: view.frame.width - 20, height: superviewFrame - (superviewFrame / 5))
cardView.visualEffectView.anchor(top: cardView.topAnchor, left: cardView.leftAnchor, bottom: nil, right: cardView.rightAnchor, paddingTop: 0, paddingLeft: 0, paddingBottom: 0, paddingRight: 0, width: 0, height: 120)
}
}

Answer 1

try moving this code
visualEffectView.anchor(top: topAnchor, left: leftAnchor, bottom: nil, right: rightAnchor, paddingTop: 0, paddingLeft: 0, paddingBottom: 0, paddingRight: 0, width: 0, height: 80)
from override func layoutSubviews() { to override init(frame: CGRect) {
after super.init()

You may need a guard condition and if there is a constraint, just pass.
override func layoutSubviews() {
super.layoutSubviews()
guard visualEffectView.constraintsAffectingLayout(for: .vertical).count == 0 else {return}. // Here
visualEffectView.anchor(top: topAnchor, left: leftAnchor, bottom: nil, right: rightAnchor, paddingTop: 0, paddingLeft: 0, paddingBottom: 0, paddingRight: 0, width: 0, height: 80)
}
