Swift UITextField icon position

I'm trying to set the position of my custom UITextField icon. But when I change the imageView's frame's x and y values, it still places them top left.

Here's the viewWillAppear method of my custom UITextField class:

var imageView = UIImageView();
var image = UIImage(named: "user-icon.png");
imageView.image = image;
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(100, 0, 20, 19);
usernameTextField.leftView = imageView;
usernameTextField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always

Changing the x and y parameters in the CGRectMake call does nothing.

Any ideas? I've read that this may be caused by the element's AutoLayout feature. But if I remove that in the StoryBoard then XCode warns me about the app not looking great on multiple devices...

Actually you are setting UIImageView to leftView of UITextField. so it alway comes in left side. if you want UIImageView to right side then there is rightView option. if you want to add UIImageView to at your specific position then i suggest you to add as subview rather then assigning its to leftView or rightView.

Hope this help you.
