        button.titleLabel?.text = "dsfjksdf"
        button.titleLabel?.textColor = UIColor.black;
        button.addTarget(self, action:#selector(GigDatesViewController.btnNext), for: UIControlEvents.touchUpInside)

        let barButton = UIBarButtonItem.init(customView: button)

        navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barButton

Answer 1

I did try your code and I get barButton.title is nil or empty, so you can set image for button like:

button.setImage(UIImage(named: "image_name"), for: .normal)

Now you can see the image at the leftBarButtonItem.

If you want to use your custom text in the leftBarButtonItem you can use:

let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "dsfjksdf", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(GigDatesViewController.btnNext))
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barButton
