The Accessibility Inspector can be used with your device. It is actually quite interesting to check what other apps (or iOS) configure, for some of the basic accessibility attributes (label, value, traits, hint...), in their UI components.

Inspect other apps with Accessibility Inspector

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.

There is a Color Contrast Calculator conveniently built into the Accessibility Inspector. Find it in Window, in the top menu. Select two colors for text and background and check if it passes for all text sizes or just some of the largest ones.
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.
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.
