Set border around UIImageView

Try

#define kBorderWidth 3.0
#define kCornerRadius 8.0
CALayer *borderLayer = [CALayer layer];
CGRect borderFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, (imageView.frame.size.width), (imageView.frame.size.height));
[borderLayer setBackgroundColor:[[UIColor clearColor] CGColor]];
[borderLayer setFrame:borderFrame];
[borderLayer setCornerRadius:kCornerRadius];
[borderLayer setBorderWidth:kBorderWidth];
[borderLayer setBorderColor:[[UIColor redColor] CGColor]];
[imageView.layer addSublayer:borderLayer];

And don't forget to import QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h

This example will draw a boarder on the layer, but change it's frame slightly to make the border around the layer.

Another way

You must import

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

Then add code for your UIImageView

imgView.clipsToBounds = YES;
imgView.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0;
imgView.layer.borderWidth = 2.0;
imgView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor greenColor].CGColor;
