Answer 1

For IOS 13 , the Position has been yet again change , not inside table view it is once again in _UITableViewCellSwipeContainerView . Thus you should iterate through that as well.Take a look below

([NSStringFromClass([subview class]) 
 isEqualToString:@"_UITableViewCellSwipeContainerView"]){

        for (UIView *deleteButtonSubview in subview.subviews){

            if ([NSStringFromClass([deleteButtonSubview class])
                 isEqualToString:@"UISwipeActionPullView"]) {



                if ([NSStringFromClass([deleteButtonSubview.subviews[0] class]) isEqualToString:@"UISwipeActionStandardButton"]) {

                   //do what you want
                }
            }

        }
    }

Use this code in your custom Cell class

 -(void) layoutSubviews
{
    NSMutableArray *subviews = [self.subviews mutableCopy];
    UIView *subV = subviews[0];
    if ([NSStringFromClass([subV class])isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationView"]){
      [subviews removeObjectAtIndex:0];
      CGRect f = subV.frame;
      f.size.height = 106; // Here you set height of Delete button
      subV.frame = f;
     }

}

Swift 5, works for iOS12, iOS13 and iOS14

  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willBeginEditingRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    // for iOS13, iOS14
    if let swipeContainerView = tableView.subviews.first(where: { String(describing: type(of: $0)) == "_UITableViewCellSwipeContainerView" }) {
      if let swipeActionPullView = swipeContainerView.subviews.first, String(describing: type(of: swipeActionPullView)) == "UISwipeActionPullView" {
        swipeActionPullView.frame.size.height -= 10
      }
    }

    // for iOS12
    tableView.subviews.forEach { subview in
      if String(describing: type(of: subview)) == "UISwipeActionPullView" {
        subview.frame.size.height -= 10
      }
    }
  }

The best way to solve this was overriding

-(void)layoutSubviews in YourCustomCell:UITableViewCell    

then

if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class])isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationControl"]){
            UIView *deleteButtonView = (UIView *)[subview.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
                                CGRect buttonFrame = deleteButtonView.frame;
                                buttonFrame.origin.x = Xvalue;
                                buttonFrame.origin.y = Yvalue;
                                buttonFrame.size.width = Width;
                                buttonFrame.size.height = Height;
                                deleteButtonView.frame = buttonFrame;

         }

Add this method to your customCell.m file.

-(void) layoutSubviews
{
    NSMutableArray *subviews = [self.subviews mutableCopy];
    UIView *subview = subviews[0];

    if ([NSStringFromClass([subview class])isEqualToString:@"UITableViewCellDeleteConfirmationView"]){
        UIView *deleteButtonView = (UIView *)[subview.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
        CGRect buttonFrame = deleteButtonView.frame;
        buttonFrame.origin.x = deleteButtonView.frame.origin.x;
        buttonFrame.origin.y = deleteButtonView.frame.origin.y;
        buttonFrame.size.width = deleteButtonView.frame.size.width;
        buttonFrame.size.height = 46;
        deleteButtonView.frame = buttonFrame;
        subview.frame=CGRectMake(subview.frame.origin.x, subview.frame.origin.y, subview.frame.size.width, 46);
        deleteButtonView.clipsToBounds=YES;
        subview.clipsToBounds=YES;
    }
}
