How to bring a subview to the front of a UIView
Swift version: 5.2
UIKit draws views back to front, which means that views higher up the stack are drawn on top of those lower down. If you want to bring a subview to the front, there's a method just for you: bringSubviewToFront(). Here's an example:
parentView.bringSubviewToFront(childView)This method can also be used to bring any subview to the front, even if you're not sure where it is:
childView.superview?.bringSubviewToFront(childView)
