swift-ios- Accessibility - change Voiceover read/focus order to content view first then the navigation items?

I am designing an app with accessibility enabled. I have
a rightBarButtonItem on the navigationBar , several labels in between
and a button located at the bottom.

I want to achieve the following behaviour :
Every time the current view is loaded, the VoiceOver focus will:

start from the topmost label

visit all labels from top to bottom

then, the bottom button

finally, rightBarButtonItem

To ensure such order, I coded in the viewController

navigationController?.view.accessibilityElements = [label1, label2, button, navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem]

It did ensure the read order but the focus order failed at the rightBarButtonItem. It couldn't be clicked.

How to solve this problem?

Every time your current view is loaded, use the UIAccessibilityPostNotification method to get your purpose.

There are several types of change notifications but UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification may be the one you're interested in.

It notifies that the whole page has changed including nil or a UIObject as incoming parameters :

With nil, the first accessible element in the page is focused.

With a UIObject, focus is shifted to the specified element.

This notification comes along with a vocalization including a sound like announcing a new page.
