How do I change the width of the navigation bar item (specifically a button) in Xcode?

Question

I am trying to use a custom button on my navigation bar in Xcode, but the button inherits the default bar button item properties and adjusts its size according to those properties. I want to override the default width. How do I do that?

I tried adding contents insets, but that did not change anything.This is how the button appears

@SagiShmuel I tried them, they did not work for me : (. I used a custom button, not the UI bar button. — Ewurafua Plange, Jul 17 '19 at 15:14
Hi @JuliettePlange, you can set your custom button's imageView's `contentMode` like: `myCustomButton.imageView.contentMode = .aspectFit` for resize button's image. — emrcftci, Jul 18 '19 at 06:30

You should set your custom button's imageView's contentMode like:

myCustomButton.imageView.contentMode = .aspectFit
