Answer 1

Try this

Goto your app info.plist

1. Set View controller-based status bar appearance to NO
2. Set Status bar style to UIStatusBarStyleLightContent

Then Goto your app delegate and paste the following code where you set your Windows's RootViewController.

#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v)  ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)

if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"7.0"))
{
    UIView *view=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, 20)];
    view.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];
    [self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:view];
}

Answer 2

The possible solution is adding view that will be used as background of statusBar on your viewController:

let frame = screenController.view.convert(UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame, to: screenController.view)
let backview = UIView(frame: frame)

backview.backgroundColor = backgroundColor
screenController.view.addSubview(backview)
screenController.view.bringSubviewToFront(backview)

Answer 3

Previous Code:-

func setStatusBarBackgroundColor(color: UIColor) {
        guard let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView else { return }

        statusBar.backgroundColor = color
    }

My application got a crash show reason: 'App called -statusBar or -statusBarWindow on UIApplication: this code must be changed as there's no longer a status bar or status bar window. Use the statusBarManager object on the window scene instead.'

Updated Code-

  if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            let statusBar = UIView(frame: UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame ?? CGRect.zero)
             statusBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(red: 237.0/255.0, green: 85.0/255.0, blue: 61.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
             UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBar)
        } else {
             UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(red: 237.0/255.0, green: 85.0/255.0, blue: 61.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)
        }

This code is working swift 5.2

I have a custom solution for changing status bar on iOS 13 and below. Here is how to do that:

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
   let app = UIApplication.shared
   let statusBarHeight: CGFloat = app.statusBarFrame.size.height

   let statusbarView = UIView()
   statusbarView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
   view.addSubview(statusbarView)

   statusbarView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
   statusbarView.heightAnchor
     .constraint(equalToConstant: statusBarHeight).isActive = true
   statusbarView.widthAnchor
     .constraint(equalTo: view.widthAnchor, multiplier: 1.0).isActive = true
   statusbarView.topAnchor
     .constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true
   statusbarView.centerXAnchor
     .constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true

} else {
      let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: 
   "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView
      statusBar?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
}

One last thing, you can still change statusbar style with :

 override var preferredStatusBarStyle : UIStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyle.lightContent
    //return UIStatusBarStyle.default   // Make dark again
}

Answer 5

For iOS 11 and Xcode 9 use the following steps.

1. create an extention to UIApplication class:

   extension UIApplication { var statusBarView: UIView? { return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView } }

2. In your class or wherever you want to change the Status bar's background color:

   UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = .red

3. For light content or dark content of status bar simply go to Info.plist and add the following value row with value NO.

View controller-based status bar appearance

4. Now just set the light content or whatever you need in the General Tab of your project's settings.

Answer 6

"Change" status bar background color:

let statusBarView = UIView(frame: UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame)
let statusBarColor = UIColor(red: 32/255, green: 149/255, blue: 215/255, alpha: 1.0)
statusBarView.backgroundColor = statusBarColor
view.addSubview(statusBarView)

Change status bar text color:

override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .lightContent
}

Update: please note that the status bar frame will change when the view is rotated. You could update the created subview frame by:

• Using the autoresizing mask: statusBarView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleTopMargin]
• Observing NSNotification.Name.UIApplicationWillChangeStatusBarOrientation
• Or overriding viewWillLayoutSubviews()
