Status Bar showing black text, only on iPhone 6 iOS 8 simulator

Question

I\'m trying to convert my iOS 7 app to iOS 8 in Xcode 6 GM, and when i run it on the iPhone 5s or lower simulators with iOS 8 everything is fine, but on the iPhone 6 and 6 P

Answer 1

A good fix for this is to use the new launch image nib support which gets used on the iPhone 6 models. It seems like there's just a bug in iOS 8 that means that the iPhone 6 models don't check the status bar style correctly when launching but it gets solved if you add in the launch nib.

As Aaron Wasserman pointed out you can also specify iPhone 6 & 6+ launch PNGs and that seems to fix the problem too, so long as you set them up right!
