place text inside UISwitch in swift 4

Question

After 2 days try, I'm posting this question here. I need to achieve this

in swift 4. I've tried below:-

let switchOnOff = UISwitch(frame:CGRect(x: 150, y: 150, width: 200, height: 0))

    switchOnOff.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.switchStateDidChange), for: .valueChanged)
    switchOnOff.setOn(true, animated: false)
    self.view.addSubview(switchOnOff) 


 @objc func switchStateDidChange(sender:UISwitch){
    if (sender.isOn == true){
        sender.setOn(true, animated: false)
        //sender.onImage = UIImage(named: "edit.png")
    }
    else{

        sender.setOn(false, animated: false)
        //sender.offImage = UIImage(named: "offSwitch.png")


    }
}

sender.onImage , sender.offImage not working in this ios 10+ version. Then I tried to use sender.tag , sender.text

These are also not working. Not getting any proper help in googling. So please help me if You already solved this matter.

Thanks Guys.

From this [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/25104771/7734643), it seems obvious that you have to create your own. — Rakesha Shastri, Jun 03 '19 at 10:34

With default UISwitch you can not achieve it because it doesn't provide this much customisation. But here is third party lib LabelSwitch which provide same customise you needed and it will look like:

Xcode 12 comes with a new property title on UISwitch type but it is only available for checkbox styled switches on Mac (iOS Catalyst), not on iOS.
