so I recently just updated to Xcode 8 and I just got this error for the following code.
The error is that the method doesn't override any method from it's superclasses.
override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle { return UIStatusBarStyle.lightContent }
I would really appreciate help, thanks!
It is possible to override this on the UINavigationBar by setting overrideUserInterfaceStyle but this will result in the back list menu (from long press on back button) also having a dark mode style appearance.
Open you Info. Add View controller-based status bar appearance key ( UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance ) and set value to No ( false ). Add Status bar style key ( UIStatusBarStyle ) and set value to Light Content ( UIStatusBarStyleLightContent ).
In iOS 10, preferredStatusBarStyle
is a property, not a method. So instead of overriding it with a func
declaration as you've done, you override the getter with a var
declaration:
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle { return .lightContent }
The Swift compiler's error message here could probably be better — since it seems to know your override func is supposed to cover a property, it could probably offer that as a fix-it. I'd recommend filing a bug to Swift open source.
Note: in iOS 12, you may also need to set the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance
(aka "View controller-based status bar appearance") flag in your Info.plist. And check your view controller hierarchy, as container view controllers like navigation and split view might not propagate this from their children.
