If your app lets the user share images, consider implementing the possibility for them to add an alt text for the image, so it can be used as an accessibility label when consumed by other users. Twitter or Slack have nice flows for doing this.

Very often we need to show a UISwitch preceded with a UILabel that explains what it does. The text in the label is basically the accessibility label for the switch. Ideally we want for both components to be grouped behave as a UISwitch. It makes much easier to understand what the switch does, compared to having two separate accessible components. There is a number of ways you can do that. One of them is to use a container view and proxy the switch accessibility attributes.
If, for some reason, you are creating a button from scratch, instead of relying on UIButton (perhaps you are adding a fancy micro interaction animation?), take into account that you’ll need to configure the button accessibility trait.
To capture the gesture, you can override the accessibilityPerformEscape() function. In there you can dismiss your view, and return true if you could successfully handle it. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/nsobject-swift.class/accessibilityperformescape()
