Reposition/resize UIBezierPath

Question

I have a draggable view that has a mask layer on it. The mask layer has a UIBezierPath on it which makes an area on the view see-through/transparent(the effect that i want). My end goal is to change the position and size of the path(not the mask layer!) by passing a CGRect that is calculated based on the intersection of my view and another rectangle(Basically I want to hide the area that intersects).

1)How I create my mask and path(creates a see-through rectangle on my view):

self.maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
self.maskLayer.frame = self.contentView.bounds;

//default path rect
CGRect const rect = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.contentView.bounds) ,
                                     CGRectGetMidY(self.contentView.bounds),
                                     50,50);


path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:rect];

[path appendPath:[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:self.contentView.frame]];

self.maskLayer.path = path.CGPath;

self.maskLayer.fillRule = kCAFillRuleEvenOdd;

self.contentView.layer.mask = self.maskLayer;

2) My problem is that I couldn't find a way to resize/reposition just the path. I searched online but couldn't find any solution.

This code is not working but is what I could think of:

//runs while the view is being dragged(using UIPanGestureRecognizer)
-(void)move{
 CGRect intersectedRect = CGRectIntersection(self.frame, self.productView.frame);
 path = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:intersectedRect];
[path appendPath:[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithRect:intersectedRect]];
[self.maskLayer setNeedsDisplay];
 }

How can I manipulate just the path of the masklayer in my move function? Thank you!

You need to assign the updated path to self.maskLayer.path in your move method.
