You can do this via following notifications:

UIAccessibilityLayoutChangedNotification

or

UIAccessibilityScreenChangedNotification

E.g.

UIAccessibilityPostNotification(UIAccessibilityLayoutChangedNotification, yourElement);

@ClemensL response works great. Here is a Swift 5 version:

func setAccessibilityFocus() {
    UIAccessibility.post(notification: UIAccessibility.Notification.layoutChanged, argument: self)
}

You can set focus to any UI element by using the following snippet.

UIAccessibility.setFocusTo(your-UI-element)
