I\'m allocating a UIButtonTypeCustom UIButton to a UIView with a background image that is smaller than the button\'s frame. Reason why the image is smaller is because I\'m tryin

Another consideration is the BaseLine constraint. If your buttons have this constraint set (depicted as a horizontal or vertical line through multiple controls on your layout), it will cause your images to stretch without stretching the underlying button control. If your button is otherwise properly constrained (leading/trailing and top/bottom spaces, and etc...) removing the BaseLine constraint should have no impact on the layout, while allowing the foreground image to scale properly to the underlying button shape.
