How to add with to border UITextField Swift when when create Rounded corners

Question

I want to create a rounded corner "Oval shape" UITextField. I have a problem with the inner border is not rounded and give strange log to the UITextField when the background of the UITextField same as the view

How border looks:

Image from the MockAUp what I want to achieve:

Swift code:

txtfEmail.layer.cornerRadius = 26
txtfEmail.clipsToBounds = true
txtfEmail.attributedPlaceholder =  NSAttributedString(string: "Email",
                                                      attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.5)])

email UITextfield inspectere

I don't know where is that annoying border set I am sure is not from controller code — NinjaDeveloper

One approach would be to create a custom UIView class with an embedded text field.

Here's an example, using @IBInspectable and @IBDesignable to let you see it during Storyboard design:

import UIKit

@IBDesignable
class RoundedTextField: UIView {

    @IBInspectable var placeholder: String = "" {
        didSet {
            textField.attributedPlaceholder = NSAttributedString(string: placeholder,
                                                                 attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.5)])
        }
    }

    let textField: UITextField = {
        let v = UITextField()
        v.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        return v
    }()

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

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

    override func prepareForInterfaceBuilder() {
        commonInit()
    }

    func commonInit() -> Void {

        layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
        layer.borderWidth = 2
        layer.masksToBounds = true

        addSubview(textField)

        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            textField.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor, constant: 12.0),
            textField.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor, constant: -12.0),
            textField.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor, constant: 20.0),
            textField.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor, constant: -20.0),
            ])

    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        layer.cornerRadius = bounds.size.height * 0.5
    }

}

Result in Storyboard / Interface Builder:

try this it works for me open storyboard drag and drop textfield ctrl click and create an outlet in view controller and name it lets say emailfield then write this code

@iboultet weak var emailfield: uitextfield!{
didset{
emailfield.layer.masktobounds = true
emailfield.layer.cornerradius = 26
emailfield.layer.borderwidth = 1
emailfield.backgroundcolor = whatever color you want

You should create the rounded border like this:

txtfEmail.layer.cornerRadius = txtfEmail.height / 2
txtfEmail.layer.borderWidth = 1
txtfEmail.layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor

Looks like the border is set to the view under the text field
