Xcode – Adjust opacity on button inside UIView with opacity at 0.5

I have a background image on a ViewController. I also have two buttons inside two UIViews.

I want the views to be white with 0.5 opacity, but the buttons should have 1 opacity.

I have set the opacity on the UIViews like this:

myView.layer.opacity = 0.5

But this also gives the buttons the opacity of 0.5. When I place the buttons above the UIView in storyboard they automatically get embedded in the UIView.

How can I get 1 opacity on the buttons?

P.S. I have tried myButton.layer.opacity = 1

    Opacity can be set in .init method of Color. This should overwrite opacity for that specific button to 1.

    Button(action: {}, 
        label: {
            Image("<your button>")
                .foregroundColor(Color.init(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, opacity: 1))                        
})

    The problem with setting the opacity on the view is that all of the subviews will be affected by the same opacity.

    So if you have a view with opacity 0.5 then any subviews will have a maximum effective opacity of 0.5.

    To fix this you can give the view an opacity of 1.0 but then set the background color like…

    view.backgroundColor = Color.white.withAlphaComponent(0.5)

    This will still allow the subviews to have an opacity of 1.0.
