Dynamic Type

Feature description

Support Dynamic Type

Problem and motivation

Almost 40% of users have changed their default font size. Especially folks with worse eyesight.

Is this something you're interested in working on

Yes I can help with that

@fassko , that's a valid concern, especially given that we want the app to reach broad audiences.

I guess my only question is - what do we need from the design team to make sure that the text doesn't break the visual layout?

[fassko]

I think the biggest issue is with bigger (and bold font). Usually, a smaller fit fine.

How we could tackle this problem step by step is to implement Dynamic Type for set up, first screen, and Settings.
Secondly, we could improve other screens like Statistics, Information.

How does that sound?

Another idea is to use SwiftUI where Dynamic Type is out of the box. The app supports iOS 13.5+ anyways.

@fassko , it would be great to start with onboarding storyboards (Welcome.storyboard, CodeEntry.storyboard).

If we are going to implement dynamic types, we must be sure that all text sizes up to Accessibility XXXL will fit the smallest screen size available (SE 1st gen in our case).

You will have to implement scrolling into WelcomeVC to fit larger text sizes. Also make sure SPKC logo will remain visible with larger text sizes. (Logo visibility is optional for SE 1 gen)

For StatsVC you will have to implement dynamic size for collectionView cells. Try keep 2 cells in a row (except SE 1 gen).
For Larger Accessibility Sizes, it is recommended to switch to a single column layout.

Other viewControllers likely will work fine once you will enable dynamic types for their textViews.
