如果这需要在UIBarButtonItem中完成，则应该使用额外的视图包装 这是可行的

let view = UIView()
let button = UIButton()
button.setTitle("Skip", for: .normal)
button.setImage(#imageLiteral(resourceName:"forward_button"), for: .normal)
button.semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft
button.sizeToFit()
view.addSubview(button)
view.frame = button.bounds
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: view)

这行不通

let button = UIButton()
button.setTitle("Skip", for: .normal)
button.setImage(#imageLiteral(resourceName:"forward_button"), for: .normal)
button.semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft
button.sizeToFit()
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)

把@Piotr的答案变成了一个Swift扩展。请确保在调用此函数之前设置好图像和标题，以便按钮大小适当。

 extension UIButton {
    
    /// Makes the ``imageView`` appear just to the right of the ``titleLabel``.
    func alignImageRight() {
        if let titleLabel = self.titleLabel, imageView = self.imageView {
            // Force the label and image to resize.
            titleLabel.sizeToFit()
            imageView.sizeToFit()
            imageView.contentMode = .ScaleAspectFit
            
            // Set the insets so that the title appears to the left and the image appears to the right. 
            // Make the image appear slightly off the top/bottom edges of the button.
            self.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: -1 * imageView.frame.size.width,
                bottom: 0, right: imageView.frame.size.width)
            self.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 4, left: titleLabel.frame.size.width,
                bottom: 4, right: -1 * titleLabel.frame.size.width)
          }
        }
     }

扩展的方法

使用扩展设置图像右侧自定义偏移

   extension UIButton {
    func addRightImage(image: UIImage, offset: CGFloat) {
        self.setImage(image, for: .normal)
        self.imageView?.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        self.imageView?.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.centerYAnchor, constant: 0.0).isActive = true
        self.imageView?.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.trailingAnchor, constant: -offset).isActive = true
    }
}

约束条件呢?与semanticContentAttribute不同，它们不会改变语义。也许是这样的:

 button.rightAnchorconstraint(equalTo: button.rightAnchor).isActive = true

或者在Objective-C中:

[button.imageView.rightAnchor constraintEqualToAnchor:button.rightAnchor].isActive = YES;

警告:未经测试，iOS 9+

对于任何试图镜像后退按钮样式的人，像这样的雪佛龙:

import UIKit

class NextBarButton: UIBarButtonItem {

    convenience init(target: Any, selector: Selector) {

        // Create UIButton
        let button = UIButton(frame: .zero)

        // Set Title
        button.setTitle("Next", for: .normal)
        button.setTitleColor(.systemBlue, for: .normal)
        button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)

        // Configure Symbol
        let config = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(pointSize: 19.0, weight: .semibold, scale: .large)
        let image = UIImage(systemName: "chevron.right", withConfiguration: config)
        button.setImage(image, for: .normal)

        // Add Target
        button.addTarget(target, action: selector, for: .touchUpInside)

        // Put the Image on the right hand side of the button
        // Credit to liau-jian-jie for this part
        button.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
        button.titleLabel?.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
        button.imageView?.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)

        // Customise spacing to match system Back button
        button.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: -18.0, bottom: 0.0, right: 0.0)
        button.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: -12.0, bottom: 0.0, right: 0.0)

        self.init(customView: button)
    }
}

实现:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let nextButton = NextBarButton(target: self, selector: #selector(nextTapped))
    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nextButton
}

@objc func nextTapped() {
    // your code
}

我决定不使用标准的按钮图像视图，因为所提出的移动它的解决方案感觉很俗气。这让我获得了想要的美感，并且通过改变约束来重新定位按钮是很直观的:

extension UIButton {
    func addRightIcon(image: UIImage) {
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: image)
        imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

        addSubview(imageView)

        let length = CGFloat(15)
        titleEdgeInsets.right += length

        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            imageView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.titleLabel!.trailingAnchor, constant: 10),
            imageView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.titleLabel!.centerYAnchor, constant: 0),
            imageView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: length),
            imageView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: length)
        ])
    }
}
