The problem in your code is that you are setting the italic font and overwriting the bold one you've just set. What you need is to use UIFontDescriptor with Symbolic Traits as you can see in this SO answer. So just initialize your system font, get its font descriptor and add traitBold and traitItalic to it. Then you just need to initialize your new Font using UIFont initializer init(descriptor: UIFontDescriptor, size pointSize: CGFloat):

Swift 4 code:

attributedString.beginEditing()
let systemFont: UIFont = .systemFont(ofSize: 32)
if let descriptor = systemFont.fontDescriptor.withSymbolicTraits([.traitBold, .traitItalic]) {
    let systemFontBoldAndItalic = UIFont(descriptor: descriptor, size: 32)
    attributedString.addAttributes([.font: systemFontBoldAndItalic, .underlineStyle: NSUnderlineStyle.styleSingle.rawValue], range: NSRange(location: 0, length: attributedString.length))
}
attributedString.endEditing()
