In SWIFT 4

func createShuffledSequenceOfNumbers(max:UInt)->[UInt] {

    var array:[UInt]! = []
    var myArray:[UInt]! = []
    for i in 1...max {
        myArray.append(i)
    }
    for i in 1...max {
        array.append(i)
    }
    var tempArray:[Int]! = []
    for index in 0...(myArray.count - 1) {

        var isNotFinded:Bool = true
        while(isNotFinded){

            let randomNumber = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(myArray.count))
            let randomIndex = Int(randomNumber)

            if(!tempArray.contains(randomIndex)){
                tempArray.append(randomIndex)

                array[randomIndex] = myArray[index]
                isNotFinded = false
            }
        }
    }

    return array
