This can be accomplished by adding a UIButton to the rightCalloutAccessoryView of the MKPinAnnotationView. Here is an example:

func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
    if !(annotation is MKUserLocation) {
        let pinView = MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: String(annotation.hash))

        let rightButton = UIButton(type: .contactAdd)
        rightButton.tag = annotation.hash

        pinView.animatesDrop = true
        pinView.canShowCallout = true
        pinView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = rightButton

        return pinView
    }
    else {
        return nil
    }
}

This is what that'll look like:

Hope that helps you!
