Actually it is pretty easy to do. You just need to connect navigation isNavigationBarHidden property with status bar.

Objective-C

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {

Swift <= 2.3

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
    return navigationController?.navigationBarHidden ?? false
}

Swift 3.0

override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
    return navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden ?? false
}

And be sure you have "View controller-based status bar appearance" = "YES" in your application .plist file.
