Xcode has a built-in tool to help you develop more accessible apps, the Accessibility Inspector. You can find it in the Developer Tool set in the Xcode menu. It has three main functionalities: inspect, audit and settings.

There is an Environment Overrides panel in the toolbar on top of Xcode's Debug Area. It allows you to select some of the most common accessibility options and Dynamic Type sizes, like in the Accessibility Inspector, plus select dark/light mode.

If you are using SwiftUI to build your apps, there is a fairly basic but very useful Accessibility Inspector built right there in the Inspectors Panel, on the right side of Xcode.

"We have one job, and that's to make our apps work. And if you are not implementing accessibility features, you are forgetting about making it work for a lot of people" @NovallSwift Couldn't have said it better! https://x.com/novallswift/status/1328387659744505856
