Add padding to left margin of UITextField in swift

Question

I have a UITextField with a background image set. The background image consists of a border with an icon on the left side. I'd like to move the cursor so the editing starts after the icon appears. How would I accomplish this in swift?

edit: Would it be easier have a custom border as an uimageview and the textfield placed over it and attached to it? If so what would be the best way to do this?

if you want left padding in TextField just use below code ,

youTextFiled.layer.sublayerTransform = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(5, 0, 0);

The amount of left padding you can change by changing the value of at first argument .
