SwiftUI has equivalent accessibility modifiers for some of UIAccessibility's properties in UIKit. Same basic concepts apply.

UIAccessibility is the cornerstone of any accessible UIKit app. Among others, understanding what an accessibility label, value, trait or hint are, is key. This is an example of how they could be configured for a custom rating component. #GAAD2022
There are a ton of things to love about SwiftUI. But one of my favorites it's got to be the possibility of previewing Variants: the possibility of seeing your UI in dark/light modes, all dynamic type sizes, and orientations, side-by-side.
Creating UIAccessibilityElements, combined with a semanticGroup accessibilityContainerType, can also help you make components as complex as charts accessible. Example from "Bring Accessibility to Charts" WWDC21: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10122/
