Answer 1

Or we can write an extension on Swift (version 2, but you can translate it to 3 easily):

extension UISearchController {

   override public func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle{
      if Theme.lightTheme() {
          return UIStatusBarStyle.Default
      }
      else {
          return UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent
      }
   }
}

Where Theme is a class that regulate app colour theme.
