Change status bar color dynamically in Swift 4

Question

I would like to change the status bar color between .lightContent and .default dynamically (since my background can change in the same ViewController).

Answer 1

I hope below code will use for your need (for Swift4):

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView
    if statusBar?.responds(to: #selector(setter: UIView.backgroundColor)) ?? false {
        statusBar?.backgroundColor = .green
    }
}

Alternatively, you could try this:

   if let StatusbarView = UIApplication.shared.value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView {
                StatusbarView.backgroundColor = .green
   }
