Status Bar showing black text, only on iPhone 6 iOS 8 simulator

Question

I\'m trying to convert my iOS 7 app to iOS 8 in Xcode 6 GM, and when i run it on the iPhone 5s or lower simulators with iOS 8 everything is fine, but on the iPhone 6 and 6 P

Answer 1

My app's status bar was working fine in iOS 7 using only the project/target settings:

Status bar style = UIStatusBarStyleLightContent

and

View controller-based status bar appearance = NO

but in iOS 8 (iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus simulators) the status bar was not showing up. Changing View controller-based status bar appearance to YES and then adding:

    // Objective C
    - (UIStatusBarStyle) preferredStatusBarStyle {
         return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
    }
    //Swift
    override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent
    }

to the ViewController resulted in seeing the white status bar again, but only after the initial root controller launches. During the initial launch the status bar remains black.
