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.

Color contrast between text and background is very important for perceivability. As colors come closer to each other, they’re more difficult to distinguish. Notice that colors that work well with big font sizes may not for smaller text.
Potential benefits from grouping logical pieces of information and moving buttons to custom actions: reduce redundancy (by removing repetitive controls) and reduce cognitive load (by making easier to know what item will be affected by each action)
Images can automatically scale for accessibility content size categories, by setting the adjustsImageSizeForAccessibilityContentSizeCategory property to true, for any UIImageView you'd like to get its size adjusted. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibilitycontentsizecategoryimageadjusting/adjustsimagesizeforaccessibilitycontentsizecategory
