If you are developing a custom component, that can change value, chances are that it will need the adjustable accessibility trait (VoiceOver will say: "Adjustable"). Think of a component that lets you rate from one to five thumbs up (or stars).

If you want to update the VoiceOver user frequently about how a component is changing, when focused, you can use the .updatesFrequently accessibility trait. A downloading progress bar, a stock value, or a timer, are some examples.
With the Accessibility Inspector you can check the value for the most common accessibility attributes for individual elements, do some basic navigation, and even perform actions if the component is adjustable or if it has custom actions.
Check for the traversal order of elements in your app. Sometimes, the default top-left to bottom-right order might not be the most logical one. Sometimes, you may consciously want to tweak the order. Some other times, grouping is the answer.
