Swift - Problems with corner radius and drop shadow

Question

I\'m trying to create a button with rounded corners and a drop shadow. No matter how I switch up, the button will not display correctly. I\

Refactored this to support any view. Subclass your view from this and it should have rounded corners. If you add something like a UIVisualEffectView as a subview to this view you likely need to use the same rounded corners on that UIVisualEffectView or it won't have rounded corners.

class ViewWithRoundedcornersAndShadow: UIView {
    private var theShadowLayer: CAShapeLayer?

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()

        if self.theShadowLayer == nil {
            let rounding = CGFloat.init(22.0)

            let shadowLayer = CAShapeLayer.init()
            self.theShadowLayer = shadowLayer
            shadowLayer.path = UIBezierPath.init(roundedRect: bounds, cornerRadius: rounding).cgPath
            shadowLayer.fillColor = UIColor.clear.cgColor

            shadowLayer.shadowPath = shadowLayer.path
            shadowLayer.shadowColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
            shadowLayer.shadowRadius = CGFloat.init(3.0)
            shadowLayer.shadowOpacity = Float.init(0.2)
            shadowLayer.shadowOffset = CGSize.init(width: 0.0, height: 4.0)

            self.layer.insertSublayer(shadowLayer, at: 0)
        }
    }
