There are a ton of things to love about SwiftUI. But one of my favorites it's got to be the possibility of previewing Variants: the possibility of seeing your UI in dark/light modes, all dynamic type sizes, and orientations, side-by-side.

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.

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.

I wish the adjustsFontForContentSizeCategory was true by default. Instead, you need to configure it that way so elements adjust their font size as the content size category (dynamic type) changes when a preferred font is used for a given style.

You don't have to offer an alternative layout just for the accessibility category. You can actually compare content size categories. So you could tweak the UI already for anything equal to or larger than .extraExtraLarge, for example.
