Use UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout method.

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGSize {

        let width : CGFloat
        let height : CGFloat

        if indexPath.item == 0 {
            width = 100
            height = 100
        } else {
            width = 50
            height = 50
        }
        return CGSizeMake(width, height)

}

Answer 3

Without creating a custom layout of collection view it is not possible to achieve what you want.

You can create custom cell size using its delegate method sizeforitematindexpath.

The answer from @Dejan Atanasov but for Swift 5

extension MainLobbyVC: UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
    
    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
        
        let width : CGFloat
        let height : CGFloat
        if indexPath.item == 0 {
            width = 100
            height = 100
        } else {
            width = 50
            height = 50
        }
        return CGSizeMake(width, height)
    }
}
