Move UIImage on top of another UIImage in swift

Layout

What i want to achieve: CardBackImage is a subview of the ViewController. The view is placed somewhere (invisible with alpha = 0), i want to relocate it on top of deckPile and make it visible.

myCode:

let deckFrame = self.view.convert(deckPileView.frame, from: 
 deckPileView.superview)
        
print("deck frame is: \(deckFrame)")
        
fakeCardBack.frame = deckFrame 

UIViewPropertyAnimator.runningPropertyAnimator(withDuration: 2, delay: 0, options: [], animations: { [self] in  fakeCardBack.alpha = 1 }, completion: { _ in print("its works?") })

The problem with this code: The card is in the original position and not on deckPile position.

Please help.

It's not easy to do this directly with UIImage, but you can easily place the image inside a UIImageView and can set one view as a subview of another - since they are simply subclasses of UIView.

Here's some sample code to pin a view on top of another:

extension UIView {
    func pin(subview: UIView) { 
        subview.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        
        subview.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: leadingAnchor).isActive = true
        subview.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: trailingAnchor).isActive = true
        subview.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: topAnchor).isActive = true
        subview.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: bottomAnchor).isActive = true        
    }
