Answer 1

Yes, even we can change image of UIButton, by using flag.

class ViewController: UIViewController
{
    @IBOutlet var btnImage: UIButton!
    var flag = false

    override func viewDidLoad()
    {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        //setting default image for button
        setButtonImage()

    }

    @IBAction func btnClick(_ sender: Any)
    {
        flag = !flag
        setButtonImage()
    }

    func setButtonImage(){
        let imgName = flag ? "share" : "image"
        let image1 = UIImage(named: "\(imgName).png")!
        self.btnImage.setImage(image1, for: .normal)
    }

}

Here, after every click your button image will change alternatively.

you can actually do this by highlighting the button and within the insepctor on the right hand tool bar you can update the image. obviously you can do it in code also as stated previously but this is another option for you

From your Obc-C code I think you want to set an Image for button so try this way:

let playButton  = UIButton(type: .Custom)
if let image = UIImage(named: "play.png") {
    playButton.setImage(image, forState: .Normal)
}

In Short:

playButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "play.png"), forState: UIControlState.Normal)

For Swift 3:

let playButton  = UIButton(type: .custom)
playButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "play.png"), for: .normal)

Answer 4

I prefer the method of initializing my variables at the top first:

let playButton:UIButton!
var image:UIImage!

and then setting them in viewDidLoad

override func viewDidLoad {
  ...
  playButton = UIButton(type: .Custom)
  imagePlay = UIImage(named:"play.png")
  playButton.setImage(imagePlay, forState: .Normal)
}

In Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.1

Add image for selected UIButton

button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.onclickDateCheckMark), for: .touchUpInside)//Target 
button.setImage(UIImage.init(named: "uncheck"), for: UIControl.State.normal)//When selected
button.setImage(UIImage.init(named: "check"), for: UIControl.State.highlighted)//When highlighted
button.setImage(UIImage.init(named: "check"), for: UIControl.State.selected)//When selected

But if you want to change selected button image you need to change it's selected state. Then only selected image will appear in your button.

@objc func onclickDateCheckMark(sender:UIButton) {
    if sender.isSelected == true {
        sender.isSelected = false
        print("not Selected")
    }else {
        sender.isSelected = true
        print("Selected")

    }
}
