NavigationBar bar, tint, and title text color in iOS 8

Question

The background text in the status bar is still black. How do I change the color to white?

// io8, swift, Xcode 6.0.1 
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super         


        

Answer 1

To work in objective-c I have to put the following lines in viewWillAppear in my CustomViewController.

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTranslucent:NO];

For Swift2.x this works:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.redColor()

For Swift3.x this works:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.red
