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.

It is not just about applying accessibility APIs, but about caring, and thinking of features that can make your app more accessible and inclusive to everyone. Twitter's alt-text feature is a great example. Thanks, @TwitterA11y! You'll be missed.
When implementing a UISlider, it is a good idea to consider how much the slider value should change when swiping up/down to adjust it. It might not always make sense to do it in 10% increments, which is the default behaviour. Could be because the value at those intervals doesn't make sense, or feel random, or because it wouldn't provide the user with a fine enough control being able to go through the whole slider in just 10 swipes. It user will still be able to adjust the slider to any value by double tapping and holding and then moving the finger left or right, bypassing VoiceOver gestures. VoiceOver announces the new value as it changes.
Configuring the header accessibility trait, when appropriate, is one of my favourite accessibility quick wins. In this example, you need a single swipe down, instead of 12 swipes to the right to get to from Podcasts to Artists, in the app.
