Answer 1

I know it's bad style to override behaviour in a base class using a category, but this works and may be the quickest solution to fix it.

Step #1: Ensure UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance or View controller-based status bar appearance is set to YES in your application plist file.

Step #2: Add the following code to your project:

@implementation UIViewController (StatusBarColorFix)

- (UIStatusBarStyle) preferredStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}

@end
