A similar answer (currently voted as 2nd) has already posted, buy in the interests of keeping this post up-to-date, here is the Swift version.

1. Add a row to your info.plist file called View controller-based status bar appearance and set its boolean value to NO.

2. In your AppDelegate.swift file, add the following method: func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject : AnyObject]?) -> Bool { UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarStyle = .LightContent return true }

3. I didn't need to do this step in order for it to work (i.e. do steps 1 and 2 and it might work). If not, try adding the following method to each of your ViewControllers:

   override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle { return UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent }

I hope this was helpful,
