I'm building an app using swift in the latest version of Xcode 6, and would like to know how I can modify my button so that it can have a rounded border that I could adjust myself if needed. Once that's done, how can I change the color of the border itself without adding a background to it? In other words I want a slightly rounded button with no background, only a 1pt border of a certain color.
Use button.layer.cornerRadius, button.layer.borderColor and button.layer.borderWidth.
Note that borderColor requires a CGColor, so you could say (Swift 3/4):
button.backgroundColor = .clear
button.layer.cornerRadius = 5
button.layer.borderWidth = 1
button.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
