UILabel as tableViewCell's accessoryView is shifted up

Question

I am creating a normal UILabel and setting it as tableViewCell's accessoryView. My understanding is, accessoryView stays vertically centre aligned inside cell. But that is not happening. As I decrease the label text's font, the accessory view moves more upwards. Button works just fine. Problem with UILabel.

Here is my code :

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = UITableViewCell(style: .default, reuseIdentifier: "cell")
    cell.textLabel?.text = "Hello"

    let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 42, height: 21))
    label.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
    label.font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica Neue", size: 12)
    label.highlightedTextColor = UIColor.white
    label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    label.textColor = UIColor.green
    label.textAlignment = .right;
    label.clipsToBounds = true
    label.autoresizesSubviews = true
    label.contentMode = .left
    label.text = "123";

    cell.accessoryView = label
    return cell
}

I found a solution. The frame that I was giving to UILabel was CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 42, height: 21). If I give the height same as the text size i.e. 12.0, The label becomes centre aligned :). This seems like an iOS 13 issue. Not seen in iOS 12 devices.

let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 42, height: 12))
