Buttons usually use the title case, so I believe "Create Community" would be correct here

If we're writing "Status Communities" or "Status Community" yes, that's uppercase "C" because that's a product name. But if we're talking about "communities" in general, that's not a product name and should not be capitalized.

I add here some examples from WhatsApp documentation to illustrate the idea:

That's not the same thing :) Here the term is used as part of a full sentence, not as a button caption.

Quoting the same Apple HIG:

Apple is the exception here, I agree. Windows and Google don't use that, but more importantly, we don't use title case capitalization in mobile designs. Copy should look similar across platforms.
