Status Bar Showing Black Text, Only on iPhone 6 iOS 8 Simulator

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

This bug only occurs if your app is being scaled to fit the resolution of the newer devices.

A quick fix (who knows whether this will even get addressed in 8.1) is to provide the proper resolution loading images in your app package.

From https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/graphics/launch-screen/

For iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6:

750 x 1334 (@2x) for portrait
1334 x 750 (@2x) for landscape

For iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6 Plus:

1242 x 2208 (@3x) for portrait
2208 x 1242 (@3x) for landscape

In my app, we only support portrait, so providing the 750x1334 and 1242x2208 fixed it.

And just to confirm in case it wasn't obvious, you DO need to be using UIStatusBarStyleLightContent for your status bar style.

Status bar becomes black

I just found a solution. It is a bug which gets solved if the proper splash screens are defined.

Status bar has white text and black icons

I had the same problem. This happened after direct assignment of the root controller and had something to do with the app windows.

let appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate
appDelegate.window?.rootViewController = controller

Any action with the window (showing the keyboard, etc.) fixed everything. My solution was to add makeKeyAndVisible

appDelegate.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()

iPhone 5/SE show white statusbar, iPhone 6/7 show black statusbar

Actually, after finding this:
Status Bar showing black text, only on iPhone 6 iOS 8 simulator

I was able to work it out. I had to put either launch images for the non-working iphone models, or what I now did, use a launch storyboard. Now everything is white statusbar.

Status bar stays black even when set to light

Ok found it.
In plist set "View controller-based status bar appearance" to NO and in appDelegate.swift in func application before return true add following line:
splitViewController.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

View is showing only in status bar in iphone

It was Internet issue. I was using LAN for running this App and the IP was conflicting, so when I update the IP of my iPhone the issue got fixed.

Status Bar Text Color on iPhone XR is different

In iOS 12, setting NO at View controller-based status bar appearance in Info.plist won't work anymore; you must set it to YES. Your workaround is the recommended way to do so.

How to change Status Bar text color in iOS

1. Set the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to YES in the .plist file.

2. In the viewDidLoad do a [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];

3. Add the following method:

   - (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
   { 
       return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent; 
   }
   

Note: This does not work for controllers inside UINavigationController, please see Tyson's comment below :)

Swift 3 - This will work controllers inside UINavigationController. Add this code inside your controller.

// Preferred status bar style lightContent to use on dark background.
// Swift 3
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .lightContent
}

Swift 5 and SwiftUI

For SwiftUI create a new swift file called HostingController.swift

import Foundation
import UIKit
import SwiftUI

class HostingController: UIHostingController<ContentView> {
    override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
        return .lightContent
    }
}

Then change the following lines of code in the SceneDelegate.swift

window.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: ContentView())

to

window.rootViewController = HostingController(rootView: ContentView())
