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

Swift up through Swift 3.2 (not Swift 4.0)

    self.navigationController?.navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .always
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white]

    // unconfirmed but I assume this works:
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.white
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.black
