这是一个快速扩展，你可以通过任意数量的颜色。在插入一个渐变图层之前，它会删除之前的任何渐变图层，如果需要的话，它会返回新插入的渐变图层进行进一步的操作:

    extension UIView {

    /**
     Given an Array of CGColor, it will:
        - Remove all sublayers of type CAGradientLayer.
        - Create and insert a new CAGradientLayer.

     - Parameters: 
        - colors: An Array of CGColor with the colors for the gradient fill

     - Returns: The newly created gradient CAGradientLayer
     */
    func layerGradient(colors c:[CGColor])->CAGradientLayer {
        self.layer.sublayers = self.layer.sublayers?.filter(){!($0 is CAGradientLayer)}
        let layer : CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
        layer.frame.size = self.frame.size
        layer.frame.origin = CGPointZero
        layer.colors = c
        self.layer.insertSublayer(layer, atIndex: 0)
        return layer
    }
}

我有这些扩展:

@IBDesignable class GradientView: UIView {
    @IBInspectable var firstColor: UIColor = UIColor.red
    @IBInspectable var secondColor: UIColor = UIColor.green

    @IBInspectable var vertical: Bool = true

    lazy var gradientLayer: CAGradientLayer = {
        let layer = CAGradientLayer()
        layer.colors = [firstColor.cgColor, secondColor.cgColor]
        layer.startPoint = CGPoint.zero
        return layer
    }()

    //MARK: -

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        applyGradient()
    }

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)

        applyGradient()
    }

    override func prepareForInterfaceBuilder() {
        super.prepareForInterfaceBuilder()
        applyGradient()
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        updateGradientFrame()
    }

    //MARK: -

    func applyGradient() {
        updateGradientDirection()
        layer.sublayers = [gradientLayer]
    }

    func updateGradientFrame() {
        gradientLayer.frame = bounds
    }

    func updateGradientDirection() {
        gradientLayer.endPoint = vertical ? CGPoint(x: 0, y: 1) : CGPoint(x: 1, y: 0)
    }
}

@IBDesignable class ThreeColorsGradientView: UIView {
    @IBInspectable var firstColor: UIColor = UIColor.red
    @IBInspectable var secondColor: UIColor = UIColor.green
    @IBInspectable var thirdColor: UIColor = UIColor.blue

    @IBInspectable var vertical: Bool = true {
        didSet {
            updateGradientDirection()
        }
    }

    lazy var gradientLayer: CAGradientLayer = {
        let layer = CAGradientLayer()
        layer.colors = [firstColor.cgColor, secondColor.cgColor, thirdColor.cgColor]
        layer.startPoint = CGPoint.zero
        return layer
    }()

    //MARK: -

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        applyGradient()
    }

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)

        applyGradient()
    }

    override func prepareForInterfaceBuilder() {
        super.prepareForInterfaceBuilder()
        applyGradient()
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        updateGradientFrame()
    }

    //MARK: -

    func applyGradient() {
        updateGradientDirection()
        layer.sublayers = [gradientLayer]
    }

    func updateGradientFrame() {
        gradientLayer.frame = bounds
    }

    func updateGradientDirection() {
        gradientLayer.endPoint = vertical ? CGPoint(x: 0, y: 1) : CGPoint(x: 1, y: 0)
    }
}

@IBDesignable class RadialGradientView: UIView {

    @IBInspectable var outsideColor: UIColor = UIColor.red
    @IBInspectable var insideColor: UIColor = UIColor.green

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()

        applyGradient()
    }

    func applyGradient() {
        let colors = [insideColor.cgColor, outsideColor.cgColor] as CFArray
        let endRadius = sqrt(pow(frame.width/2, 2) + pow(frame.height/2, 2))
        let center = CGPoint(x: bounds.size.width / 2, y: bounds.size.height / 2)
        let gradient = CGGradient(colorsSpace: nil, colors: colors, locations: nil)
        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

        context?.drawRadialGradient(gradient!, startCenter: center, startRadius: 0.0, endCenter: center, endRadius: endRadius, options: CGGradientDrawingOptions.drawsBeforeStartLocation)
    }

    override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        super.draw(rect)

        #if TARGET_INTERFACE_BUILDER
            applyGradient()
        #endif
    }
}

用法:

如果你想使用HEX而不是RGBA，只需拖动一个新的空的.swift并添加下面提到的代码:

     import UIKit

    extension UIColor {
        convenience init(rgba: String) {
            var red:   CGFloat = 0.0
            var green: CGFloat = 0.0
            var blue:  CGFloat = 0.0
            var alpha: CGFloat = 1.0

            if rgba.hasPrefix("#") {
                let index   = advance(rgba.startIndex, 1)
                let hex     = rgba.substringFromIndex(index)
                let scanner = NSScanner(string: hex)
                var hexValue: CUnsignedLongLong = 0
                if scanner.scanHexLongLong(&hexValue) {
                    switch (count(hex)) {
                    case 3:
                        red   = CGFloat((hexValue & 0xF00) >> 8)       / 15.0
                        green = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x0F0) >> 4)       / 15.0
                        blue  = CGFloat(hexValue & 0x00F)              / 15.0
                    case 4:
                        red   = CGFloat((hexValue & 0xF000) >> 12)     / 15.0
                        green = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x0F00) >> 8)      / 15.0
                        blue  = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x00F0) >> 4)      / 15.0
                        alpha = CGFloat(hexValue & 0x000F)             / 15.0
                    case 6:
                        red   = CGFloat((hexValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16)   / 255.0
                        green = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x00FF00) >> 8)    / 255.0
                        blue  = CGFloat(hexValue & 0x0000FF)           / 255.0
                    case 8:
                        red   = CGFloat((hexValue & 0xFF000000) >> 24) / 255.0
                        green = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x00FF0000) >> 16) / 255.0
                        blue  = CGFloat((hexValue & 0x0000FF00) >> 8)  / 255.0
                        alpha = CGFloat(hexValue & 0x000000FF)         / 255.0
                    default:
                        print("Invalid RGB string, number of characters after '#' should be either 3, 4, 6 or 8")
                    }
                } else {
                    println("Scan hex error")
                }
            } else {
                print("Invalid RGB string, missing '#' as prefix")
            }
            self.init(red:red, green:green, blue:blue, alpha:alpha)
        }
}

类似地，拖动另一个空的.swift文件并添加下面提到的代码:

    class Colors {
    let colorTop = UIColor(rgba: "##8968CD").CGColor
    let colorBottom = UIColor(rgba: "#5D478B").CGColor

    let gl: CAGradientLayer

    init() {
        gl = CAGradientLayer()
        gl.colors = [ colorTop, colorBottom]
        gl.locations = [ 0.0, 1.0]
    }
}

然后在视图控制器中，在类下面实例化你的Color类，像这样:

let colors = Colors()

添加一个新函数:

func refresh() {
        view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
        var backgroundLayer = colors.gl
        backgroundLayer.frame = view.frame
        view.layer.insertSublayer(backgroundLayer, atIndex: 0)
    }

在viewDidLoad中声明函数:

refresh()

你完成了:)) 如果与RGBA相比，使用HEX太容易了。: D

对于那些想要Objective C版本的答案的人。经过测试，在iOS13上运行

// Done here so that constraints have completed and the frame is correct.
- (void) viewDidLayoutSubviews { 
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
    UIColor *colorTop = [UIColor colorWithRed:(CGFloat)192.0/255.0 green: 38.0/255.0 blue: 42.0/255.0 alpha:1.0];
    UIColor *colorBottom = [UIColor colorWithRed: 35.0/255.0 green: 2.0/255.0 blue: 2.0/255.0 alpha: 1.0];
    CAGradientLayer *gl = [CAGradientLayer new];
    [gl setColors:@[(id)[colorTop CGColor], (id)[colorBottom CGColor]]];
    [gl setLocations:@[@0.0f, @1.0f]];
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    CALayer *backgroundLayer = gl;
    backgroundLayer.frame = self.view.frame;
    [self.view.layer insertSublayer:backgroundLayer atIndex:0];
}

这段代码将与Swift 3.0一起工作

class GradientView: UIView {

    override open class var layerClass: AnyClass {
        get{
            return CAGradientLayer.classForCoder()
        }
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        let gradientLayer = self.layer as! CAGradientLayer
        let color1 = UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.1).cgColor as CGColor
        let color2 = UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.9).cgColor as CGColor
        gradientLayer.locations = [0.60, 1.0]
        gradientLayer.colors = [color2, color1]
    }
}

我做了一个UIView扩展应用一个基本的渐变到任何视图

extension UIView {
    func layerGradient() {
        let layer : CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
        layer.frame.size = self.frame.size
        layer.frame.origin = CGPointMake(0.0,0.0)
        layer.cornerRadius = CGFloat(frame.width / 20)

        let color0 = UIColor(red:250.0/255, green:250.0/255, blue:250.0/255, alpha:0.5).CGColor
        let color1 = UIColor(red:200.0/255, green:200.0/255, blue: 200.0/255, alpha:0.1).CGColor
        let color2 = UIColor(red:150.0/255, green:150.0/255, blue: 150.0/255, alpha:0.1).CGColor
        let color3 = UIColor(red:100.0/255, green:100.0/255, blue: 100.0/255, alpha:0.1).CGColor
        let color4 = UIColor(red:50.0/255, green:50.0/255, blue:50.0/255, alpha:0.1).CGColor
        let color5 = UIColor(red:0.0/255, green:0.0/255, blue:0.0/255, alpha:0.1).CGColor
        let color6 = UIColor(red:150.0/255, green:150.0/255, blue:150.0/255, alpha:0.1).CGColor

        layer.colors = [color0,color1,color2,color3,color4,color5,color6]
        self.layer.insertSublayer(layer, atIndex: 0)
    }
}
