In iOS' Settings you can specify your preference to use bold text. This can be checked in code in a couple ways:
1. isBoldTextEnabled in UIAccessibility: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibility/isboldtextenabled
2. legibilityWeight from UITraitCollection: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitraitcollection/legibilityweight
Your iconography should support Bold Text too. One way of doing it is by creating custom symbols (and specifying weights for it) to work with them as you would with regular SF Symbols. How Creating custom symbols: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10250/
UIAccessibility is the cornerstone of any accessible UIKit app. Among others, understanding what an accessibility label, value, trait or hint are, is key. This is an example of how they could be configured for a custom rating component. #GAAD2022
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.
