Manual testing is crucial. And therefore, reducing friction to let you start your testing process can be a huge help. Selecting some accessibility shortcuts will do that, putting most of iOS' accessibility features at a triple-click of a button.

To capture the gesture, you can override the accessibilityPerformEscape() function. In there you can dismiss your view, and return true if you could successfully handle it. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject-swift.class/accessibilityperformescape()
