Is it possible to change Status Bar color for all view controllers?

Question

I have been searching for a while now and I only found answers that describe to change color on one view controller not for all view controllers.

Is it possible to do it?

Answer 1

Only two steps are needed to change the status bar style for the entire app. 🙂

Step 1

Add a new property to the project's Info.plist file and set it to false.

<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>

Step 2

Go to your project's target and under General / Deployment Info, switch Status Bar Style from Default to Light.

Doing these steps will ensure the status bar behaves the same in the entire project.
