func randomString(length: Int) -> String {
    let charactersString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"
    let charactersArray : [Character] = Array(charactersString.characters)

    var string = ""
    for _ in 0..<length {
        string.append(charactersArray[Int(arc4random()) % charactersArray.count])
    }

    return string
}

基本上调用这个方法，它将生成一个随机字符串，长度为传递给函数的整数。要更改可能的字符，只需编辑charactersString字符串。也支持unicode字符。

一种避免输入整套字符的方法:

func randomAlphanumericString(length: Int) -> String  {
    enum Statics {
        static let scalars = [UnicodeScalar("a").value...UnicodeScalar("z").value,
                              UnicodeScalar("A").value...UnicodeScalar("Z").value,
                              UnicodeScalar("0").value...UnicodeScalar("9").value].joined()

        static let characters = scalars.map { Character(UnicodeScalar($0)!) }
    }
    
    let result = (0..<length).map { _ in Statics.characters.randomElement()! }
    return String(result)
}

苹果推荐使用RandomNumberGenerator获得更好的性能

用法:String.random (20) 结果:CifkNZ9wy9jBOT0KJtV4

extension String{
   static func random(length:Int)->String{
        let letters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"
        var randomString = ""

        while randomString.utf8.count < length{
            let randomLetter = letters.randomElement()
            randomString += randomLetter?.description ?? ""
        }
        return randomString
    }
}

如果您只需要一个唯一标识符UUID()。uuidString可以满足您的需求。

为Swift 4更新。在类扩展上使用惰性存储变量。这只计算一次。

extension String {

    static var chars: [Character] = {
        return "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789".map({$0})
    }()

    static func random(length: Int) -> String {
        var partial: [Character] = []

        for _ in 0..<length {
            let rand = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(chars.count)))
            partial.append(chars[rand])
        }

        return String(partial)
    }
}

String.random(length: 10) //STQp9JQxoq

迅速:

let randomString = NSUUID().uuidString
