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.

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.

Sometimes your UI will just not scale for large text sizes. Simple changes, for large sizes, like disposing elements vertically instead of horizontally, reducing the number of columns, and allowing more lines of text, can do the trick most times.

With accessibilityRepresentation(representation:), you can create a custom component and it can be perceived by assistive technologies as the view you pass as representation. No need to manually configure accessibility attributes. It is one of the most interesting additions to SwiftUI to help you develop accessible UI components. If your custom component behaves similarly to a native one, this is the way to go. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/accessibilityrepresentation(representation:)
