Answer 1

With using Swift 3 and 4 you can use the code snippet on below. It finds the view from UIApplication using valueForKeyPath as set it's background color.

guard let statusBarView = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView else {
        return
    }
statusBarView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

Objective-C

UIView *statusBarView = [UIApplication.sharedApplication valueForKeyPath:@"statusBarWindow.statusBar"];
if (statusBarView != nil)
{
    statusBarView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
}
