swift 3.0迁移 jasongregori给出的解

class ButtonIconRight: UIButton {
        override func imageRect(forContentRect contentRect: CGRect) -> CGRect {
            var imageFrame = super.imageRect(forContentRect: contentRect)
           imageFrame.origin.x = super.titleRect(forContentRect: contentRect).maxX - imageFrame.width
        return imageFrame
        }

        override func titleRect(forContentRect contentRect: CGRect) -> CGRect {
            var titleFrame = super.titleRect(forContentRect: contentRect)
            if (self.currentImage != nil) {
                titleFrame.origin.x = super.imageRect(forContentRect: contentRect).minX
            }
            return titleFrame
        }

一个快速的选项，做什么你想要不玩任何插图:

class RightImageButton: UIButton {

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        if let  textSize = titleLabel?.intrinsicContentSize(),
                imageSize = imageView?.intrinsicContentSize() {
            let wholeWidth = textSize.width + K.textImageGap + imageSize.width
            titleLabel?.frame = CGRect(
                x: round(bounds.width/2 - wholeWidth/2),
                y: 0,
                width: ceil(textSize.width),
                height: bounds.height)
            imageView?.frame = CGRect(
                x: round(bounds.width/2 + wholeWidth/2 - imageSize.width),
                y: RoundRetina(bounds.height/2 - imageSize.height/2),
                width: imageSize.width,
                height: imageSize.height)
        }
    }

    struct K {
        static let textImageGap: CGFloat = 5
    }

}

这是我在swift 5.2上的工作

let sizeOfTitle: CGFloat = 80
let sizeOfImage: CGFloat = 20
yourButton.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: -sizeOfImage , bottom: 0.0, right: sizeOfImage)
yourButton.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: sizeOfTitle, bottom: 0.0, right: -sizeOfTitle)

当标题发生变化时，只需更新插图即可。你需要在另一侧用等量的、相反的插页来补偿插页。

[thebutton setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateNormal];
thebutton.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -thebutton.imageView.frame.size.width, 0, thebutton.imageView.frame.size.width);
thebutton.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, thebutton.titleLabel.frame.size.width, 0, -thebutton.titleLabel.frame.size.width);

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)
          }
        }
     }

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)
