Ignoring the dynamic type in iOS: Accessibility

Question

Is there a way to completely ignore dynamic type/font size settings in iOS apps? I mean is there a way like a plist entry so that I can disable it completely. I understand there is a notification we can observe and re-configure the font whenever there is change in the settings. I am looking for a simpler solution. I am using iOS8. Thanks.

In your AppDelegate add:

#import <objc/runtime.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

NSString* swizzled_preferredContentSizeCategory(id self, SEL _cmd)
{
    return UIContentSizeCategoryLarge;  // Set category you prefer, Large being iOS' default.
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions
{
    Method method = class_getInstanceMethod([UIApplication class], @selector(preferredContentSizeCategory));
    method_setImplementation(method, (IMP)swizzled_preferredContentSizeCategory);

    ...
}
