在界面构建器中，您可以为UIButton配置选项边缘插入，分别为三个部分:内容，图像，标题

Xcode 8:

要在UIButton内右对齐图像，请尝试下面的代码

btn.contentHorizontalAlignment = .right

这里是解决方案的UIButton与中心对齐的内容。 这段代码使图像右对齐，并允许使用imageEdgeInsets和titleEdgeInsets进行宝贵的定位。

用你的自定义类子类化UIButton并添加:

- (CGRect)imageRectForContentRect:(CGRect)contentRect {
    CGRect frame = [super imageRectForContentRect:contentRect];
    CGFloat imageWidth = frame.size.width;
    CGRect titleRect = CGRectZero;
    titleRect.size = [[self titleForState:self.state] sizeWithAttributes:@{NSFontAttributeName: self.titleLabel.font}];
    titleRect.origin.x = (self.frame.size.width - (titleRect.size.width + imageWidth)) / 2.0 + self.titleEdgeInsets.left - self.titleEdgeInsets.right;
    frame.origin.x = titleRect.origin.x + titleRect.size.width - self.imageEdgeInsets.right + self.imageEdgeInsets.left;
    return frame;
}

- (CGRect)titleRectForContentRect:(CGRect)contentRect {
    CGFloat imageWidth = [self imageForState:self.state].size.width;
    CGRect frame = [super titleRectForContentRect:contentRect];
    frame.origin.x = (self.frame.size.width - (frame.size.width + imageWidth)) / 2.0 + self.titleEdgeInsets.left - self.titleEdgeInsets.right;
    return frame;
}

子类化和覆盖layoutSubviews可能是你最好的方法。

引用自:iPhone UIButton -图像位置

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)

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;
