To align the icon of a UIButton to the top-left of the button's title when using a UIButton configuration, you can customize the button's layout by adjusting the content insets and alignment properties. While the specific details for achieving this layout were not directly covered in the provided WWDC context, you can generally achieve this by setting the contentHorizontalAlignment and contentVerticalAlignment properties of the UIButton to .left and .top, respectively. Additionally, you may need to adjust the contentEdgeInsets to ensure the icon and text are positioned as desired.

If you are using a UIButton configuration, you can also customize the layout by setting the imagePlacement and imagePadding properties to control the position and spacing of the icon relative to the text.

For more detailed guidance on working with button configurations and layouts, you might want to explore sessions related to UIKit updates or SwiftUI button customization from WWDC. Unfortunately, the specific session or timestamp for this topic was not provided in the context.
