The fastest way for testing Dynamic Type while developing, and to quickly see how your app's UI flows, is by using the "option + cmd + plus/minus" to increase/decrease the text size in your simulator.
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.

The Accessibility Inspector lets you configure on or off some of the most common accessibility options so you can conveniently observe how your app adopts these options in the simulator or device. You can also quickly select different text sizes.
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.
Toggles or UISwitches are often found separated from the label that precedes (and describes) them; with an unclear label; missing a value, trait, or hint; or even not being actionable at all.
