    public func randomString(length: Int) -> String {
        let charArray = characters()
        let charArrayCount = UInt32(charArray.count)
        var randomString = ""
        for _ in 0 ..< length {
            randomString += String(charArray[Int(arc4random_uniform(charArrayCount))])

characters()函数是我所知道的最快的实现。

斯威夫特5.6

此函数生成一个以36为基数的10位数字，然后将其作为字母数字字符串返回。

func randomCode(length: Int) -> String {
    let radix = 36 // = 10 digits + 26 letters
    let number = Int.random(in: 0..<(pow(radix, length)))
    return String(number, radix: radix, uppercase: true)
}

或者如果你不希望代码以“0”开头:

func randomCode(length: Int) -> String {
    let radix = 36 // = 10 digits + 26 letters
    let range = (pow(radix, length)/2)..<(pow(radix, length))
    let number = Int.random(in: range)
    return String(number, radix: radix, uppercase: true)
}

更新后的2019年。

在不寻常的情况下

性能很重要。

下面是一个非常清晰的缓存函数:

func randomNameString(length: Int = 7)->String{
    
    enum s {
        static let c = Array("abcdefghjklmnpqrstuvwxyz12345789")
        static let k = UInt32(c.count)
    }
    
    var result = [Character](repeating: "-", count: length)
    
    for i in 0..<length {
        let r = Int(arc4random_uniform(s.k))
        result[i] = s.c[r]
    }
    
    return String(result)
}

这适用于当您有一个固定的、已知的字符集时。

方便的提示:

注意，“abcdefghjklmnpqrstuvwxyz12345789”避免了“坏”字符

没有0,o, o, i等等…人类经常混淆的字符。

这通常用于预订代码和人类客户将使用的类似代码。

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

Swift 4.2更新

Swift 4.2在处理随机值和元素方面进行了重大改进。你可以在这里阅读更多关于这些改进的信息。以下是简化为几行的方法:

func randomString(length: Int) -> String {
  let letters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"
  return String((0..<length).map{ _ in letters.randomElement()! })
}

Swift 3.0升级

func randomString(length: Int) -> String {

    let letters : NSString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"
    let len = UInt32(letters.length)

    var randomString = ""

    for _ in 0 ..< length {
        let rand = arc4random_uniform(len)
        var nextChar = letters.character(at: Int(rand))
        randomString += NSString(characters: &nextChar, length: 1) as String
    }

    return randomString
}

最初的回答:

func randomStringWithLength (len : Int) -> NSString {

    let letters : NSString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"

    var randomString : NSMutableString = NSMutableString(capacity: len)

    for (var i=0; i < len; i++){
        var length = UInt32 (letters.length)
        var rand = arc4random_uniform(length)
        randomString.appendFormat("%C", letters.characterAtIndex(Int(rand)))
    }

    return randomString
}
