Hacks are accessibility’s worst enemy. An example. There is a ‘trick’ floating on the internet: if you want a button with an icon to the right of the text, set the semantic content attribute to force right to left. Great way to create focus traps.

Anything representing a heading in the app should have the header trait. It allows for a faster way of exploring a screen and jumping to the part of the app you are interested in. Screens should also start with a header.
Make sure you support Dynamic Type up to the largest text size available. Take into account that there are five extra accessibility sizes available from the Accessibility Settings. It can make a huge difference for lots of users.
If, for some reason, you are creating a button from scratch, instead of relying on UIButton (perhaps you are adding a fancy micro interaction animation?), take into account that you’ll need to configure the button accessibility trait.
