Here is an approximate view for iOS 8 on iPad.

As I understand, the only way to simulate these columns is to use a lot of iCarousel instances. But there some problems with dragging which may involve from a view from one carousel instance up to some carousel instances at once.
Could you describe a list of actions I need to perform for such dragging animation? Even if it will be without of code
Finally I've understood that if I use iCarousel then I must implement drag and drop fully manually. So I take HMLauncherView which vice versa has somehow implemented drag and drop but by default supports only grid of views. So now I try to add to it some functionality which is similar to iCarousel

I am building an app which enables user to drag a UIView onto another. Currently I have the implementation as a UIScrollView but that does not give me the best experience as to achieve an experience like Apple's drag and drop requires handling of many cases ( including edge cases).
I am curious if this can be done using a UICollectionView. I am looking to drag cells onto another cells after which the cells contents merge and the source cell is removed.
Any idea/ suggestion would be appreciated. I am not sure if adding what I have is neccessary but if needed I can certainly add the code which I have.
Yes, using a collectionView would be a good choice for scrolling and drag/drop. There are many built in methods that support drag and drop.

I want to build a similar view as seen in the iOS Camera app, but I don't know which UI-Elements were used.
It can be found in the Instagram Story section as well.
Edit:
It should have the same behavior.
I tried to accomplish this with an UICollectionView. I'm adding UIButtons to the view but I don't know how to make the 'drag & stop' behavior. Maybe there is a delegate method or so.
A small explanation or some ideas would be helpful. I don't need code.
That's a custom control. You could create it using a horizontal scroll view containing multiple UILabel objects, each of which has an attached UITapGestureRecognizer.
You might be able to find a third party library that does what you want. Try Cocoa Controls.
I am new to Xcode (started a few days ago).
I'm trying to find a way to get a few photos or videos in a display where the user can scroll or tap through as they desire. There will be multiple viewControllers each with a different set of photos.
Is there any existing UI type data types I can just drag and drop to make this work? Or is this out of range of the capabilities for someone not using code specifically.
I know Java, C, C++, MATLAB, etc. but never have toyed with Objective-C until now. Point being, I should be able to follow any logic you can throw at me, but I'm unfamiliar with the GUI and layout of Xcode as a whole.
This is what I currently have.
This is what I want. Perhaps with functionality to tap to full screen the image or swipe to go to another image. (This image was made with photosop. I don't actually have the picture file in Xcode because I don't know how)
SOLVED: Placed desired images in "Supporting files" content folder inside Xcode. This allowed me to select which photo I want displayed in which ImageView. To fix the proportionality issue where photos in Simulator are far too large, I simply added height and width constraints along with some other centering aspects and got the desired result.
Add UICollectionView in your view and set flow of collection view is horizontal make cell size that you want to keep.
Take a look at UICollectionViewController where you can display multiple cells with embedded views for your images, and consider segueing between them via a UINavigationController.
Edit: Now that you've added screenshots, I'd recommend using a UICollectionView embedded on your subclass of a UIViewController instead of a UICollectionViewController. This should give you more flexibility.
For iOS 7 and iOS 8, we're implementing these things that look like drop-downs, but each just launch a modal window.
What makes more sense, using 3 UIButtons, 3 UITableViews with 1 row, or something else? In the past, there would be more than one of these all lined up, so I would put them in a UITableView and set the accessoryView of the UITableViewCell. Using the cell was nice, but three UITableViews seem like overkill here and a maintenance hassel.
The closest post I found regarding this was one about using an UITableViewCell outside of UITableView
What would make the most sense is to follow the iOS design guidelines. Instead of trying to create custom dropdown menus (or worse: showing a drop down menu, but displaying a modal view when the user is expecting a drop down view), that UI could be replaced with 1 UITableView that has 3 UITableViewCells in it. The text on each cell would be the name of the setting to be changed and selecting the cell would push segue to the next page. This will give the app a uniform iOS UX; allowing users to know exactly how to use your app because it works similarly to other apps on their phone. Check out the Settings app on the simulator to see what I am describing.
I don't see any advantage to using a UITableView or a UITableViewCell. I think this is clearly a case for three UIButtons. You can set constraints to keep them nice and clean. One cool thing that might be worth investigating is using a unicode character for the downward arrow. That way you could have the tap feedback on the whole "thing" as you called it.
When I need to create sort of dropdown menus, I usually take advantages from UITableView, one above all is when you will need to add one or more selections in the dropdown you just need to change the data model.
UITableViewCells are easily customizable that means that you can create almost everything you want.
I think that your design doesn't adapt well to a mobile application, those kind of menu are more web style, with 3 buttons and a UIPickerView you can really improve the user experience and also adapt in a really easy way on the ipad embedding the picker in a UIPopoverController.
as i agree with #keithbhunter, but still if you want then may this links will help you.

I'm building an app for the iPhone and I need to drag and drop allot of different objects.
I have found allot of separate ways to drag and drop UIImageViews, UIButtons etc. But I was wondering if there is a universal way to program any object to able to drag and drop?
You may want to consider using one or more UIGestureRecognizers for each view. Here's a reference to the docs.
