Answer 1

A Swift 3 elegant solution:

open override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
    return navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden ?? false
}

Answer 2

Sorry if this answer is a little late, but here is one way to do it.

Use the prefersStatusBarHidden() method within your view controller.

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
    if self.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden == true {
        return true
    } else {
        return false
    }
}

Basically says that when the Nav bar is hidden, then the status bar is too and vice versa.
