从2016年1月开始，所有这些答案都是不必要的。在接口构建器中，将视图语义设置为强制从右向左，或者如果你更喜欢编程的方式，semanticContentAttribute = . forcerighttolefleft这将导致图像出现在文本的右侧。

我只是想添加，你可以添加IB_DESIGNABLE之前，你的按钮@interface和设置你的按钮类在storyborad。然后你就可以在界面构建阶段实时观看它的布局，而无需启动应用程序

我把功劳都给了inspirre48。基于他的建议和其他问题，我想出了这个。子类UIButton并重写这些方法。

@implementation UIButtonSubclass

- (CGRect)imageRectForContentRect:(CGRect)contentRect
{
    CGRect frame = [super imageRectForContentRect:contentRect];
    frame.origin.x = CGRectGetMaxX(contentRect) - CGRectGetWidth(frame) -  self.imageEdgeInsets.right + self.imageEdgeInsets.left;
    return frame;
}

- (CGRect)titleRectForContentRect:(CGRect)contentRect
{
    CGRect frame = [super titleRectForContentRect:contentRect];
    frame.origin.x = CGRectGetMinX(frame) - CGRectGetWidth([self imageRectForContentRect:contentRect]);
    return frame;
}

@end

斯威夫特3:

open override func imageRect(forContentRect contentRect: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    var frame = super.imageRect(forContentRect: contentRect)
    let  imageWidth = frame.size.width
    var titleRect = CGRect.zero
    titleRect.size = self.title(for: self.state)!.size(attributes: [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
}

open override func titleRect(forContentRect contentRect: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    var frame = super.titleRect(forContentRect: contentRect)
    if let imageWidth = self.image(for: self.state)?.size.width {
        frame.origin.x = (self.frame.size.width - (frame.size.width + imageWidth)) / 2.0 + self.titleEdgeInsets.left - self.titleEdgeInsets.right;
    }
    return frame
}

在尝试了互联网上的多种解决方案后，我没有达到确切的要求。所以我最终编写了自定义实用程序代码。在将来帮助别人。 在swift 4.2上测试

// This function should be called in/after viewDidAppear to let view render
    func addArrowImageToButton(button: UIButton, arrowImage:UIImage = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "my_image_name") ) {
        let btnSize:CGFloat = 32
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: arrowImage)
        let btnFrame = button.frame
        imageView.frame = CGRect(x: btnFrame.width-btnSize-8, y: btnFrame.height/2 - btnSize/2, width: btnSize, height: btnSize)
        button.addSubview(imageView)
        //Imageview on Top of View
        button.bringSubviewToFront(imageView)
    }

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)
        ])
    }
}
