Status Bar text Color [duplicate]

Question

As it is shown in the attached figure, status bar text is black. Is there way to change to another color, for example white ?

Answer 1

In your app's plist (or through XCode's GUI) set Status bar style to "Transparent black style (alpha of 0.5)" and you'll get white text. Here's a source for more:

Answer 2

I have got the following answer which works very well.

Just two steps as following:

Step 1:

Under the Info tab of the project target, Add Row:

UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance, set value NO.

Step 2:

In the project AppDelegate.m:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application 
        didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions{
    …
    [application setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
    …
}
