I am trying to change the app StatusBar colour and it works ONLY when my XIB has no navigationBars. To do so, I added the following function to my source file:

-(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle{
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}

But when I call [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:NO]; the status bar goes back to the default style.

It leads me to believe that the navigation bar should set the statusBar colour for itself.

Ant suggestions?

Fixed this setting a unique StatusBar colour for the whole app instead of doing it for each ViewController. It took only 2 steps:

  1. Defined “View controller-based status bar appearance” = NO on MyAppName-Info.plist

  2. Added the following line to my - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions AppDelegate function

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];

It worked for me =)
