Answer 1

This is a bug in xCode6 and iOS 8 SDK running on iOS7 devices :) It almost waisted my day. Finally it worked with the below code in the UICollectionViewCell sub class. I hope this will be fixed with the next version

- (void)setBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
    [super setBounds:bounds];
    self.contentView.frame = bounds;
}
