Answer 1

If you choose a same status bar color for each View Controller:

UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance

Ad this to your Info.plist and set status bar color from Project -> Targets -> Status Bar Style by desired color.

On the other hand, in your case, you have a navigation controller which is embedded in a view controller. Therefore, you want to different status bar color for each page.

UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance

Ad this to your Info.plist. Then, create a custom class for your NavigationController. After that you can implement the method:

class LightContentNavigationController: UINavigationController {

    override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
        return .lightContent
    }
}

Thats it! Please, inform me whether this was useful!
