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。

这里有一个肯定有效的解决方案!

我已经创建了UIView扩展所需的边应用阴影如下

enum AIEdge:Int {
    case
    Top,
    Left,
    Bottom,
    Right,
    Top_Left,
    Top_Right,
    Bottom_Left,
    Bottom_Right,
    All,
    None
}

extension UIView {
        
    func applyShadowWithCornerRadius(color:UIColor, opacity:Float, radius: CGFloat, edge:AIEdge, shadowSpace:CGFloat, cornerRadius: CGFloat)    {

        var sizeOffset:CGSize = CGSize.zero
        
        switch edge {
        case .Top:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: -shadowSpace)
        case .Left:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: -shadowSpace, height: 0)
        case .Bottom:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: shadowSpace)
        case .Right:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: shadowSpace, height: 0)
            
            
        case .Top_Left:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: -shadowSpace, height: -shadowSpace)
        case .Top_Right:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: shadowSpace, height: -shadowSpace)
        case .Bottom_Left:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: -shadowSpace, height: shadowSpace)
        case .Bottom_Right:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: shadowSpace, height: shadowSpace)
            
            
        case .All:
            sizeOffset = CGSize(width: 0, height: 0)
        case .None:
            sizeOffset = CGSize.zero
        }

        self.layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
        self.layer.masksToBounds = true

        self.layer.shadowColor = color.cgColor
        self.layer.shadowOpacity = opacity
        self.layer.shadowOffset = sizeOffset
        self.layer.shadowRadius = radius
        self.layer.masksToBounds = false

        self.layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect:self.bounds, cornerRadius:self.layer.cornerRadius).cgPath
    }
}

最后，你可以为你的UIView子类调用下面的阴影函数，你也可以指定边缘上应用阴影，尝试不同的变化根据你需要改变下面方法调用的参数。

viewRoundedToBeShadowedAsWell.applyShadowWithCornerRadius(color: .gray, opacity: 1, radius: 15, edge: AIEdge.All, shadowSpace: 15)

注意:如果仍然不工作，试着从主线程调用它

DispatchQueue.main.async {
   viewRoundedToBeShadowedAsWell.applyShadowWithCornerRadius(color: .gray, opacity: 1, radius: 15, edge: AIEdge.All, shadowSpace: 15)
}

希望有人觉得这有用!

以下是结果图片:

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!

使用Swift 4和Xcode 9，这是一个用投影和边框舍入ImageView的工作示例。

    //set dimensions and position of image (in this case, centered)
    let imageHeight: CGFloat = 150, imageWidth: CGFloat = 150
    let xPosition = (self.view.frame.width / 2) - (imageWidth / 2)
    let yPosition = (self.view.frame.height / 2) - (imageHeight / 2)

    //set desired corner radius
    let cornerRadius: CGFloat = 20

    //create container for the image
    let imageContainer = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: xPosition, y: yPosition, width: imageWidth, height: imageHeight))

    //configure the container
    imageContainer.clipsToBounds = false
    imageContainer.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
    imageContainer.layer.shadowOpacity = 1
    imageContainer.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 3.0, height: 3.0)
    imageContainer.layer.shadowRadius = 5
    imageContainer.layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: imageContainer.bounds, cornerRadius: cornerRadius).cgPath

    //create imageView
    let imageView = UIImageView(frame: imageContainer.bounds)

    //configure the imageView
    imageView.clipsToBounds = true
    imageView.layer.cornerRadius = cornerRadius
    //add a border (if required)
    imageView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
    imageView.layer.borderWidth = 1.0
    //set the image
    imageView.image = UIImage(named: "bird")

    //add the views to the superview
    view.addSubview(imageContainer)
    imageContainer.addSubview(imageView)

如果你想让图像是圆形的:(并且显示为无边框)

let cornerRadius = imageWidth / 2

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

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!
