How to set cornerRadius for only top-left and top-right corner of a UIView?

Question

Is there a way to set cornerRadius for only top-left and top-right corner of a UIView?

All of the answers already given are really good and valid (especially Yunus idea of using the mask property).

However I needed something a little more complex because my layer could often change sizes which mean I needed to call that masking logic every time and this was a little bit annoying.

I used swift extensions and computed properties to build a real cornerRadii property which takes care of auto updating the mask when layer is layed out.

This was achieved using Peter Steinberg great Aspects library for swizzling.

Full code is here:

extension CALayer {
  // This will hold the keys for the runtime property associations
  private struct AssociationKey {
    static var CornerRect:Int8 = 1    // for the UIRectCorner argument
    static var CornerRadius:Int8 = 2  // for the radius argument
  }

  // new computed property on CALayer
  // You send the corners you want to round (ex. [.TopLeft, .BottomLeft])
  // and the radius at which you want the corners to be round
  var cornerRadii:(corners: UIRectCorner, radius:CGFloat) {
    get {
      let number = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &AssociationKey.CornerRect)  as? NSNumber ?? 0
      let radius = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, &AssociationKey.CornerRadius)  as? NSNumber ?? 0
      return (corners: UIRectCorner(rawValue: number.unsignedLongValue), radius: CGFloat(radius.floatValue))
    }
    set (v) {
      let radius = v.radius
      let closure:((Void)->Void) = {
        let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: self.bounds, byRoundingCorners: v.corners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
        let mask = CAShapeLayer()
        mask.path = path.CGPath
        self.mask = mask
      }
      let block: @convention(block) Void -> Void = closure
      let objectBlock = unsafeBitCast(block, AnyObject.self)
      objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &AssociationKey.CornerRect, NSNumber(unsignedLong: v.corners.rawValue), .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN)
      objc_setAssociatedObject(self, &AssociationKey.CornerRadius, NSNumber(float: Float(v.radius)), .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN)
      do { try aspect_hookSelector("layoutSublayers", withOptions: .PositionAfter, usingBlock: objectBlock) }
      catch _ { }
    }
  }
}

I wrote a simple blog post explaining this.
