Attempting to Change the UIStatusBar Tint Color
I am trying to change the UIStatusBar tint color in a specific UIViewController.
Here is my code:
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return .lightContent
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(true)
self.setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()
}
Nothing is happening.

@Damon, while I could agree that this may be a dup, that one has much more details than this one - including the specifics that we are talking aUINavigationControllerscenario. SO far, the OP has only said "in a specific VC". TO the OP, could you provide more specifics? I've successfully overridenpreferredStatusBarStylemany time. It doesn't need a call tosetNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdateunder most circumstances (including setting things in every VC depending o how you set it the first time). If you copy/paste the posted code into a new project, does it work?

On a UINavigationController, preferredStatusBarStyle is not called because its topViewController is preferred to self. So, to get preferredStatusBarStyle called on an UINavigationController, you need to change its childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle.
To do it for one UINavigationController:
class MyRootNavigationController: UINavigationController {
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return .lightContent
}
override var childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
return nil
}
}

You can add an extension to UINavigationController:
extension UINavigationController {
open override var childForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
return visibleViewController
}
}
Then for view controllers that you want a light status bar (white time, icons etc.), then override preferredStatusBarStyle:
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return UIStatusBarStyle.lightContent
}
For a dark status bar, you don't have to do anything.

Anywhere you want :) You can put it below your entire view controller (not in the same class). If you want to be more organised and avoid a large file, you can put it in it's own file

Possible duplicate of preferredStatusBarStyle isn't called

Nov 24 '18 at 11:11
@Damon, while I could agree that this may be a dup, that one has much more details than this one - including the specifics that we are talking a
UINavigationControllerscenario. SO far, the OP has only said "in a specific VC". TO the OP, could you provide more specifics? I've successfully overridenpreferredStatusBarStylemany time. It doesn't need a call tosetNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdateunder most circumstances (including setting things in every VC depending o how you set it the first time). If you copy/paste the posted code into a new project, does it work?– dfd
