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...
Accessibility labels might not be the best input labels, used for example to find or interact with elements with Voice Control or Full Keyboard Access. In those cases, you can provide accessibility user input labels.
If you are developing a custom component, that can change value, chances are that it will need the adjustable accessibility trait (VoiceOver will say: "Adjustable"). Think of a component that lets you rate from one to five thumbs up (or stars).
You don't have to offer an alternative layout just for the accessibility category. You can actually compare content size categories. So you could tweak the UI already for anything equal to or larger than .extraExtraLarge, for example.
