Unable to initialize UICollectionView in Xcode Playgrounds

Question

I tried to initialize a UICollectionView:

import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport

let collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100))

But all I'm getting is

error: Execution is interrupted, reason: signal SIGBART

To initialize a UICollectionView use init(frame: CGRect, collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout), check Apple Doc:

let collectionView = UICollectionView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 100), collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout())

That was simple, how could I missed that! Thanks dude

Without including the collectionViewLayout, this crashed playgrounds so hard for me it showed the homescreen of the simulator running the live view!
