Before loading the collection view user sets the number of image in the array of collection view. All of the cells don't fit on the screen. I have 30 cells and only 6 on the screen.

The question: How to scroll to the cell with desired image automatically at the load of UICollectionView?

New, Edited Answer:

Add this in viewDidLayoutSubviews

SWIFT

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
    let indexPath = IndexPath(item: 12, section: 0)
    self.collectionView.scrollToItem(at: indexPath, at: [.centeredVertically, .centeredHorizontally], animated: true)
}

Normally, .centerVertically is the case

ObjC

-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
   [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
    NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:12 inSection:0];
   [self.collectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:indexPath atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionCenteredVertically | UICollectionViewScrollPositionCenteredHorizontally animated:NO];
}

Old answer working for older iOS

Add this in viewWillAppear:

[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
[self.collectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:indexPath atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionCenteredVertically animated:NO];
