Swift 3 Solution:

Simply do all stuff inside UICollectionView class and assign this class to UICollectionView object.

import UIKit

class MyAppCollectionView: UICollectionView {

    required public init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        addLongPressGesture()
    }

    func addLongPressGesture() {
        let longPressGesture = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(MyAppCollectionView.longPressed(_:)))
        longPressGesture.minimumPressDuration = 0.5
        self.addGestureRecognizer(longPressGesture)
    }

    func longPressed(_ gesture: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {

        let point = gesture.location(in: self)
        let indexPath = self.indexPathForItem(at: point)

        if indexPath != nil {

            MyAppViewController.cellIndex = indexPath!.row
            let editMenu = UIMenuController.shared
            becomeFirstResponder()
            let custom1Item = UIMenuItem(title: "Custom1", action: #selector(MyAppViewController.custome1Method))
            let custom2Item = UIMenuItem(title: "Custom2", action: #selector(MyAppViewController.custome2Method))
            editMenu.menuItems = [custom1Item, custom2Item]
            editMenu.setTargetRect(CGRect(x: point.x, y: point.y, width: 20, height: 20), in: self)
            editMenu.setMenuVisible(true, animated: true)
        }

    }

    override var canBecomeFirstResponder: Bool {

        return true
    }
}

class MyAppViewController: UIViewController {

     override func canPerformAction(_ action: Selector, withSender sender: Any?) -> Bool {
            // You need to only return true for the actions you want, otherwise you get the whole range of
            //  iOS actions. You can see this by just removing the if statement here.

            //For folder edit
            if action == #selector(MyAppViewController.custome1Method) {
                return true
            }

            if action == #selector(MyAppViewController.custome2Method) {
                return true
            }

            return false
        }
}
