I'm trying to add a play button on top of my AVPlayerLayer but it's not showing up.

I have a UIView called playerView as an IBOutlet.

Here's how I create the player and a corresponding playerLayer, and put it in the playerView:

    player = AVPlayer()
    superLayer = self.playerView.layer
    playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
    playerLayer.frame = self.playerView.bounds
    playerLayer.cornerRadius = 5.0
    playerLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill
    superLayer.addSublayer(playerLayer)

    self.view.bringSubview(toFront: playVideoButton)

The problem is that the playVideoButton doesn't show up on top of the the playerLayer (the button is added in the storyboard). I tried hiding the playerLayer and the button still doesn't show up underneath, so it seems the button's not even in the view hierarchy.

Maybe this can help 

let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)

let btn = UIButton()
btn.frame = CGRect(x: 23, y: 34, width: 25, height: 30)

playerLayer.addSublayer(btn.layer)
self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
