It is possible to embed icons within text using NSTextAttachment and NSAttributedString. If you do, please remember to override the accessibility label, otherwise VoiceOver will announce it as "Attachment.png File".
let magnifyingGlassIcon = UIImage(systemName: "magnifyingglass")!
let searchButton = UIButton()
let searchTutorialLabel = UILabel()
searchButton.accessibilityLabel = "search"
let textAttachment = NSTextAttachment(image: magnifyingGlassIcon)
let string = "Select the button to find elements in the list"
let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: string)
let attributedStringIcon = NSAttributedString(attachment: textAttachment)
let iconPlaceholderRange = attributedString.string.range(of: "")!
let iconRange = NSRange(iconPlaceholderRange, in: attributedString.string)
attributedString.replaceCharacters(in: iconRange, with: attributedStringIcon)
searchTutorialLabel.attributedText = attributedString
searchTutorialLabel.accessibilityLabel = string.replacingCharacters(in: iconPlaceholderRange,
with: searchButton.accessibilityLabel!) You may also find interesting...
Have you ever seen VoiceOver randomly focusing on elements of the previous view when presenting a custom modal view? That can be fixed by letting the system know that the presented view is modal in terms of accessibility.
Do you have a fancy custom loading animation instead of an UIActivityIndicatorView? You may want to check if it has an accessibility label so a VoiceOver user knows that something is happening. Something like "In progress" or "Loading" could work.
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.
