To add to to the answer and the addition, I created a simple, reusable UIView in Swift. Depending on your use case, you might want to make modifications (avoid creating objects on every layout etc.), but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. The extension allows you to apply this to other view's (ex. UIImageView) easier if you do not like subclassing.

extension UIView {

    func roundCorners(_ roundedCorners: UIRectCorner, toRadius radius: CGFloat) {
        roundCorners(roundedCorners, toRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
    }

    func roundCorners(_ roundedCorners: UIRectCorner, toRadii cornerRadii: CGSize) {
        let maskBezierPath = UIBezierPath(
            roundedRect: bounds,
            byRoundingCorners: roundedCorners,
            cornerRadii: cornerRadii)
        let maskShapeLayer = CAShapeLayer()
        maskShapeLayer.frame = bounds
        maskShapeLayer.path = maskBezierPath.cgPath
        layer.mask = maskShapeLayer
    }
}

class RoundedCornerView: UIView {

    var roundedCorners: UIRectCorner = UIRectCorner.allCorners
    var roundedCornerRadii: CGSize = CGSize(width: 10.0, height: 10.0)

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        roundCorners(roundedCorners, toRadii: roundedCornerRadii)
    }
}

Here's how you would apply it to a UIViewController:

class MyViewController: UIViewController {

    private var _view: RoundedCornerView {
        return view as! RoundedCornerView
    }

    override func loadView() {
        view = RoundedCornerView()
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        _view.roundedCorners = [.topLeft, .topRight]
        _view.roundedCornerRadii = CGSize(width: 10.0, height: 10.0)
    }
}
