Hello!

For mobile apps it is pretty difficult to figure out the font size.
To fetch accurate test results it is better to work it out with the
App's design team as they will have the accurate information. Share
the list of instances for which you would like to check contrast,
based on the information shared by the design team you can perform the
contrast test.
Automated tool if available can be of great help!

Always BPositive!
