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)

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

由于转换解决方案在iOS 11中不起作用，我决定编写一种新的方法。

调整按钮semanticContentAttribute可以让我们很好地将图像放到右边，而不必在文本更改时重新布局。因此它是理想溶液。然而，我仍然需要RTL的支持。事实上，一个应用程序不能改变它的布局方向在同一会话解决这个问题很容易。

话虽如此，它还是相当直截了当的。

extension UIButton {
    func alignImageRight() {
        if UIApplication.shared.userInterfaceLayoutDirection == .leftToRight {
            semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft
        }
        else {
            semanticContentAttribute = .forceLeftToRight
        }
    }
}

更新XCODE 9(通过接口生成器)

在Interface Builder中有一个更简单的方法。

选择UIButton并在View Utilities > Semantic中选择这个选项:

就是这样!很好很简单!

可选-第二步:

如果你想调整图像和标题之间的间距，你可以在这里更改图像插入:

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
    }

}
