在Piotr Tomasik的优雅解决方案的基础上:如果你想在按钮标签和图像之间有一点间距，那么包括在你的边缘嵌入如下(复制我的代码在这里完美地为我工作):

    CGFloat spacing          = 3;
    CGFloat insetAmount      = 0.5 * spacing;

    // First set overall size of the button:
    button.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, insetAmount, 0, insetAmount);
    [button sizeToFit];

    // Then adjust title and image insets so image is flipped to the right and there is spacing between title and image:
    button.titleEdgeInsets   = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -button.imageView.frame.size.width - insetAmount, 0,  button.imageView.frame.size.width  + insetAmount);
    button.imageEdgeInsets   = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, button.titleLabel.frame.size.width + insetAmount, 0, -button.titleLabel.frame.size.width - insetAmount);

感谢Piotr的解决方案!

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)
    }

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

Swift 4 & 5

改变UIButton图像的方向(RTL和LTR)

extension UIButton {
    func changeDirection(){
       isArabic ? (self.contentHorizontalAlignment = .right) : (self.contentHorizontalAlignment = .left)
        // left-right margin 
        self.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5)
        self.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 5, bottom: 0, right: 5)
    }
}

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
    }
}

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)
