How to left align title on button using titleLabel property?

You cannot really / should not really use the titleLabel property for this since the UIButton decides how to layout the label, where to position it and with what size, etc. If the button decides to put the label in the center and size it to the minimal dimensions it needs to display the text then changing any alignment property of the label will have no effect.

button.contentHorizontalAlignment = .left

is the way to go. Do not change the integrated label, but the button.

How to center attributed title in UIButton

This is because the text is an attributed String, you will need to align the text after it has been set.

Solution for you will be:

aButton.setAttributedTitle(title, for: .normal)
aButton.titleLabel?.textAlignment = .center

By setting attributed String, instead of String, you are clearing all the button's text property.

Nicer solution will be to add alignment attribute into the attributed String
