iOS 7 and later allows a user to specify text size in Settings/Display & Brightness/Text Size. I don't see, or have yet to discover, how to change this in the iOS 7/8 Sim to test my app. Is it possible? If so, how/where is it done?
Thank you

The Dynamic Type feature allows users to choose the size of textual content displayed on the screen. It helps users who need larger text for better readability. It also accomodates those who can read smaller text, allowing more information to appear on the screen.
Go to Settings > Accessibility, then select Display & Text Size. Tap Larger Text for larger font options. Drag the slider to select the font size you want.
Dynamic Type is a feature that was introduced in iOS 7 allowing users to change the default font size used across iOS. It is intended predominantly to support visually impaired users but in practice there are many iOS users who simply prefer a smaller / larger reading size for a variety of reasons.
As mentioned above iOS uses a default font size of 17pt for content, while macOS uses 13pt.
In the simulator, go into settings (Choose "Home" on the hardware menu). Then General->Accessibility->Larger text. You also should slide the switch at the top to "Larger Accessibility Sizes". You'll then get a slider to adjust the text size. Hope this helps.
