Answer 1

Solution for Swift3

Add this to your ViewController:

extension MFMailComposeViewController {
    open override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
        return .lightContent
    }
    open override var childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
        return nil
    }
}

Set View controller-based status bar appearance >> YES as below:

Another cleaner solution that may not change other settings in your app. While presenting the Mail VC change the status bar in the completion block:

controller.present(mailComposeViewController, animated: true) {
            UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent
        }
