Answer 1

put this code in your class

extension UIView {

func dropShadow(scale: Bool = true) {
    layer.masksToBounds = false
    layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
    layer.shadowOpacity = 0.2
    layer.shadowOffset = CGSize.zero
    layer.shadowRadius = 5
}}

Then call it:--

YourView.dropShadow(scale: true)

Answer 2

yourView.layer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
yourView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: 0.0, height: 0.0)
yourView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5
yourView.layer.shadowRadius = 2.0

And adapt the code below to the way you want for the corners that you'd like to drop shadow.

var shadowRect: CGRect = yourView.bounds.insetBy(dx: 0, dy: 4) // inset top and bottom of the cell
yourView.layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: shadowRect).cgPath
