In Swift, how to get the y position of a text baseline of a UILabel?

Question

I'm trying to get the exactly baseline of a text of a UILabel.

label.frame.maxY returns the max y of the box of the UILabel.

But what I really want is the maxY of the position of the text.

Ignore the "button". I just searched this image from google. I know how to get what the first returns (maxY), but I want to know how to get the second one (where the dashline is under the text).

Thanks for any help!

You can achieve this quite simply :

let baselineY = label.frame.origin.y + label.font.ascender;
