How can I subclass UISegmentedControl having custom designated initializer?

Seems like a trivial issue but I am not able to make this compile.
Neither in playgrounds nor in normal swift ios projects.
(Please note I am not using Storyboards that's why I don't need / care about the init?(coder) part..it;s jsut it has to be include otherwise the complier complains about it.)

class SegmentedControl: UISegmentedControl {
let configuration: [String]
required init(configuration: [String]) {
self.configuration = configuration
super.init(items: configuration)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { fatalError() }
}
let x = SegmentedControl(configuration: ["a","b"])


It is complaining about not having the deisignated initializer implemented.

Fatal error: Use of unimplemented initializer 'init(frame:)' for class
'__lldb_expr_167.SegmentedControl'

I don't understand what is going on here. Isn't the designated initializer the init(items:) for UISegmentedControl? I am calling it in my subclass designated initializer.

let x...

viewDidLoad

Solution:

class SegmentedControl: UISegmentedControl {
var configuration = [String]()
required init(configuration: [String]) {
super.init(items: configuration)
self.configuration = configuration
}
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { fatalError() }
}
let x = SegmentedControl(configuration: ["a","b"])
