Of the two versions it makes sense that the one that is combining two words into a contraction takes the apostrophe. Makes sense to me anyway, it's how I remember.

I see no reason why contractions should get dibs on apostrophes.

Contractions are obviously supreme over possessives. Do your own research.

Homonyms are where two words are spelled the same, yet carry different meanings. Both the possessive and contractive forms of "it's" are now homonyms. I have spoken.
