If you have any web views in your app (Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, I'm looking at you), you can also support Dynamic Type for them. You can set an Apple system font with the same styles available for native development in your CSS.

Support Dynamic Type in WKWebView CSS

Some of you have asked me how you can support what I do. This would really help, and would be hugely appreciated:
Find these posts useful? Share them at work, on social media, or with anyone that might find them interesting. Let's spread the word!
Check out any of my apps or games: Xarra!, RetroRapid!, or Mestre!.
A download and a review go a long way. They're free by default. On the App Store, ratings and reviews really help more people discover them.
Finding any of them useful? If so, and if you can afford it, purchasing lifetime access to all features or subscribing lets me buy the coffee that keeps me caffeinated. Caffeine keeps me going to maintain the apps, bring in new features that I hope you'll love, and keep writing.

It is possible to use custom fonts and for them to still work great with Dynamic Type. You need to define the default size and use UIFontMetrics to get the scaled font for each one of the styles you'd like to use. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uifontmetrics/scaledfont(for:)
One of my favourite Dynamic Type tricks is to use Stack Views and flip the axis from horizontal to vertical given a certain content-size-category threshold. So effortless and it works so well in so many scenarios.
If a table view cell has a disclosure indicator accessory type configured, the button trait gets added automatically. A good reminder that when following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, things are more accessible out of the box.
