On IOS 13 you can use the Voice Control feature to find out if an accessible name is associated with the control. If you turn on Voice Control under Accessibility and say "Show names" it will show the accessible name of each field and label. If there is no accessible name it would just say the role such as "text" for inputs -- but doesn't show anything for select fields. For an input you would see the name twice -- once on the label once on the field if it was associated correctly. If the label was not associated you would see the name on the label but something like "text" for the text field. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work right with select elements though.
