在研究了一整天的圆角视图与阴影之后，我很高兴在这里发布我的自定义uiview类，希望结束这个问题:

RoundCornerShadowView.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface RoundCornerShadowView : UIView

@end

RoundCornerShadowView.m

#import "RoundCornerShadowView.h"

@implementation RoundCornerShadowView

// *** must override this method, not the other method ***
// otherwise, the background corner doesn't disappear....
// @2015/05/29
-(void) layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];//is must to ensure rightly layout children view

    //1. first, create Inner layer with content
    CALayer *innerView = [CALayer layer];
    innerView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,self.bounds.size.width,self.bounds.size.height);
    //instead of: innerView.frame = self.frame;
    innerView.borderWidth = 1.0f;
    innerView.cornerRadius = 6.0f;
    innerView.masksToBounds = YES;
    innerView.borderColor = [[UIColor lightGrayColor] CGColor];
    innerView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
    //put the layer to the BOTTOM of layers is also a MUST step...
    //otherwise this layer will overlay the sub uiviews in current uiview...
    [self.layer insertSublayer:innerView atIndex:0];

    //2. then, create shadow with self layer
    self.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
    self.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor darkGrayColor] CGColor];
    self.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.4f;
    //shadow length
    self.layer.shadowRadius = 2.0f;
    //no offset
    self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 0);
    //right down shadow
    //[self.layer setShadowOffset: CGSizeMake(1.0f, 1.0f)];

    //3. last but important, MUST clear current view background color, or the color will show in the corner!
    self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}

@end

所以，不需要在视图中添加子视图或在目标视图中添加子视图，只需在当前视图中添加一层，并执行3步即可完成!

仔细查看代码中的注释，这有助于理解组件!

Swift 3 & IBInspectable解决方案: 灵感来自Ade的解决方案

首先，创建一个UIView扩展:

//
//  UIView-Extension.swift
//  

import Foundation
import UIKit

@IBDesignable
extension UIView {
     // Shadow
     @IBInspectable var shadow: Bool {
          get {
               return layer.shadowOpacity > 0.0
          }
          set {
               if newValue == true {
                    self.addShadow()
               }
          }
     }

     fileprivate func addShadow(shadowColor: CGColor = UIColor.black.cgColor, shadowOffset: CGSize = CGSize(width: 3.0, height: 3.0), shadowOpacity: Float = 0.35, shadowRadius: CGFloat = 5.0) {
          let layer = self.layer
          layer.masksToBounds = false

          layer.shadowColor = shadowColor
          layer.shadowOffset = shadowOffset
          layer.shadowRadius = shadowRadius
          layer.shadowOpacity = shadowOpacity
          layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: layer.bounds, cornerRadius: layer.cornerRadius).cgPath

          let backgroundColor = self.backgroundColor?.cgColor
          self.backgroundColor = nil
          layer.backgroundColor =  backgroundColor
     }


     // Corner radius
     @IBInspectable var circle: Bool {
          get {
               return layer.cornerRadius == self.bounds.width*0.5
          }
          set {
               if newValue == true {
                    self.cornerRadius = self.bounds.width*0.5
               }
          }
     }

     @IBInspectable var cornerRadius: CGFloat {
          get {
               return self.layer.cornerRadius
          }

          set {
               self.layer.cornerRadius = newValue
          }
     }


     // Borders
     // Border width
     @IBInspectable
     public var borderWidth: CGFloat {
          set {
               layer.borderWidth = newValue
          }

          get {
               return layer.borderWidth
          }
     }

     // Border color
     @IBInspectable
     public var borderColor: UIColor? {
          set {
               layer.borderColor = newValue?.cgColor
          }

          get {
               if let borderColor = layer.borderColor {
                    return UIColor(cgColor: borderColor)
               }
               return nil
          }
     }
}

然后，在界面构建器中选择你的UIView，设置阴影ON和角半径，如下所示:

结果!

检查GitHub上的示例项目，以确保正确使用组件。

简单的Swift 5解决方案，没有任何额外的子视图或子类化:

extension UIView {

    func addShadow(offset: CGSize, color: UIColor, radius: CGFloat, opacity: Float) {
        layer.masksToBounds = false
        layer.shadowOffset = offset
        layer.shadowColor = color.cgColor
        layer.shadowRadius = radius
        layer.shadowOpacity = opacity

        let backgroundCGColor = backgroundColor?.cgColor
        backgroundColor = nil
        layer.backgroundColor =  backgroundCGColor
    }
}

请注意，在调用addShadow之前，您应该使用角半径和其他属性设置视图。

之后，像这样从viewDidLoad调用这个:

button.addShadow(offset: CGSize.init(width: 0, height: 3), color: UIColor.black, radius: 2.0, opacity: 0.35)

最终结果:

超级简单!

Swift 4解决方案，使UICollectionViewCell圆形和添加阴影，没有任何扩展和并发症:)

注意:对于简单的视图，例如按钮。请看这篇文章中的@suragch的回答。 https://stackoverflow.com/a/34984063/7698092。按钮测试成功

以防有人还在努力使角落圆润，同时添加阴影。虽然这个解决方案适用于UICollectionViewCell，但它可以推广到任何视图。

这个技巧对我来说很有效，不需要做任何扩展和所有复杂的事情。我正在使用storyBoard。

技术

你必须在storyBoard的UICollectionViewCell中添加一个UIView(让我们说它是“containerView”)，并在这个containerView中添加所有必需的视图(按钮，图像等)。 见截图。

连接containerView的出口。在CellforItemAtIndexPath委托函数中添加以下代码行。

//adds shadow to the layer of cell

cell.layer.cornerRadius = 3.0
    cell.layer.masksToBounds = false
    cell.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
    cell.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
    cell.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.6

//makes the cell round 

let containerView = cell.containerView!
    containerView.layer.cornerRadius = 8
    containerView.clipsToBounds = true

输出

查看模拟器截图

Evan Mulawski提供的答案将会非常有效。问题是你必须将视图的背景色设置为clearColor，并将masksToBounds属性设置为NO。

你可以为视图设置任何你想要的颜色

v.layer.backgroundColor = your color;

希望这能有所帮助。

当为容器视图分配阴影路径时，我使用以下技巧解决了这个问题:

[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:cell.bounds cornerRadius:12]

请注意，阴影的路径是一个圆角矩形，与单元格包含的背景具有相同的角半径:

//this is the border for the UIView that is added to a cell
cell.backgroundView.layer.cornerRadius = 12;
cell.backgroundView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
cell.backgroundView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor].CGColor;
cell.backgroundView.layer.borderWidth = 1;

//this is the shadow around the cell itself (cannot have round corners with borders and shadow, need to use two views
cell.layer.shadowRadius = 2;
cell.layer.cornerRadius = 12;
cell.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
[[cell layer] setShadowColor:[[UIColor darkGrayColor] CGColor]];

[[cell layer] setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0.0,0.0)];
[[cell layer] setShadowOpacity:1.0];

UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect:cell.bounds cornerRadius:12];
[[cell layer] setShadowPath:[path CGPath]];
