How to change Status Bar (Style / Color) of UISplitViewController iOS 8

Question

i am trying to change the status Bar Style of UISplitViewController

i used to do that with UINavigationBar

UINavigationBar.appearance().barStyle = UIBarStyle.Black

but the UISplitViewController does not have an appearance property

is there anyway to change that Style ?

View controller-based status bar appearance is set to YES by default. So you just have to subclass your split controller like

class SplitViewController: UISplitViewController {

    override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
        return UIStatusBarStyle.BlackOpaque
    }

}

is there really no way to just set the statusBar style via the plist? How is this still a thing in iOS 10 and Xcode 8?? – whyoz May 04 '17 at 18:07
@whyoz, just use SplitView instead :) – Petr Syrov May 10 '17 at 07:58
