UICollectionViewFlowLayout issues with collectionview and textfields - swift

Question

I have an app that uses a collectionview that scrolls horizontally, and has collectionviewcells inside of it. Everything was going fine until I tried to implement a login/register cell with 2 textfields in it using textfielddelegate. When I press on one of the textfields, the keyboard shows for a split second and then hides. After it does this, the view is pushed down a little bit and if I press the textfield again, it is pushed up and wont come down. Here are some screenshots of what it looks like:

I get various UICollectionViewFlowLayout errors that call for me to make a symbolic breakpoint at UICollectionViewFlowLayoutBreakForInvalidSizes.
The behavior of the UICollectionViewFlowLayout is not defined because:
2017-04-26 13:55:03.199199-0400 Eyetube[1500:243622] the item height must be less than the height of the UICollectionView minus the section insets top and bottom values, minus the content insets top and bottom values.
2017-04-26 13:55:03.200490-0400 Eyetube[1500:243622] The relevant UICollectionViewFlowLayout instance is <UICollectionViewFlowLayout: 0x10453ee90>, and it is attached to <UICollectionView: 0x104806800; frame = (0 0; 768 960); clipsToBounds = YES; autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x17405a610>; layer = <CALayer: 0x17002f0a0>; contentOffset: {2304, 0}; contentSize: {3072, 910}> collection view layout: <UICollectionViewFlowLayout: 0x10453ee90>.
2017-04-26 13:55:03.200575-0400 Eyetube[1500:243622] Make a symbolic breakpoint at UICollectionViewFlowLayoutBreakForInvalidSizes to catch this in the debugger.
I tried debugging this multiple times, but it isn't too helpful in finding where exactly the error is coming from. I've been stuck on this issue for hours and can't seem to figure it out.
Where I initialize my layout in my collectionviewcontroller:
func setupCollectionView() {
if let flowLayout = collectionView?.collectionViewLayout as? UICollectionViewFlowLayout {
flowLayout.scrollDirection = .horizontal
flowLayout.minimumLineSpacing = 0
}
collectionView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
collectionView?.register(VideoFeedCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: cellId)
collectionView?.register(ChannelFeedCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: channelCellId)
collectionView?.register(ARFeedCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: augmentedRealityCellId)
collectionView?.register(LoginRegisterCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: loginRegisterCellId)
collectionView?.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 50, 0)
collectionView?.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 50, 0)
collectionView?.isPagingEnabled = true
}
My sizeForItemAt func, also in my collectionviewcontroller (P.S., I am subtracting 50 from the height because of the bottom menubar I have added as a subview of the view. I also changed the collectionview's contentInset and scrollIndicatorInsets because of this):
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
let cellSize = CGSize(width: view.frame.width, height: view.frame.height - 50)
return cellSize
}
Here is the complete code of the collectionviewcell, where I am having the issues:

}()
