Although the accepted answer is great and it works as it should, I've modified it to split offSet: CGSize to offsetX: CGFloat and offsetY: CGFloat.

extension UIView {
  func dropShadow(offsetX: CGFloat, offsetY: CGFloat, color: UIColor, opacity: Float, radius: CGFloat, scale: Bool = true) {
    layer.masksToBounds = false
    layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: offsetX, height: offsetY)
    layer.shadowColor = color.cgColor
    layer.shadowOpacity = opacity
    layer.shadowRadius = radius
    layer.shadowPath = UIBezierPath(rect: self.bounds).cgPath
    layer.shouldRasterize = true
    layer.rasterizationScale = scale ? UIScreen.main.scale : 1
  }
}
