UIView not shows round

Question

For making a circular UIView I am using the cornerRadius property.

I have a UIView with dimension 79*158.

redView.layer.cornerRadius = redView.frame.size.height/2
redView.layer.masksToBounds = true

It shows elipse instead of circle:

Any workaround or does it only work with square type (eg. UIView(100*100))?

I am ok if it resizes dynamically.

use this...

    func makeCircle (view: UIView) {
        view.clipsToBounds = true
        let height = view.frame.size.height
        let width = view.frame.size.width
        let newHeight = min(height, width) // use "max" if you want big circle

        var rectFrame = view.frame
        rectFrame.size.height = newHeight
        rectFrame.size.width = newHeight
        view.frame = rectFrame
        view.layer.cornerRadius = newHeight/2
    }

use like this:

@IBOutlet var rectView: UIView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        makeCircle(view: rectView)
    }
