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;

警告:未经测试，iOS 9+

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)
    }
}

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)
        ])
    }
}

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);

Xcode 11.4 Swift 5.2

对于任何试图镜像后退按钮样式的人，像这样的雪佛龙:

import UIKit

class NextBarButton: UIBarButtonItem {

    convenience init(target: Any, selector: Selector) {

        // Create UIButton
        let button = UIButton(frame: .zero)

        // Set Title
        button.setTitle("Next", for: .normal)
        button.setTitleColor(.systemBlue, for: .normal)
        button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)

        // Configure Symbol
        let config = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(pointSize: 19.0, weight: .semibold, scale: .large)
        let image = UIImage(systemName: "chevron.right", withConfiguration: config)
        button.setImage(image, for: .normal)

        // Add Target
        button.addTarget(target, action: selector, for: .touchUpInside)

        // Put the Image on the right hand side of the button
        // Credit to liau-jian-jie for this part
        button.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
        button.titleLabel?.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)
        button.imageView?.transform = CGAffineTransform(scaleX: -1.0, y: 1.0)

        // Customise spacing to match system Back button
        button.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: -18.0, bottom: 0.0, right: 0.0)
        button.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: -12.0, bottom: 0.0, right: 0.0)

        self.init(customView: button)
    }
}

实现:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let nextButton = NextBarButton(target: self, selector: #selector(nextTapped))
    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nextButton
}

@objc func nextTapped() {
    // your code
}

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
        }
    }
}
