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

I have performed following steps and they worked for me quite well, should be working in iOS 8+ as well.

1) Added property View controller-based status bar appearance => NO in Info.plist.
2) Add following piece of code in - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions of AppDelegate.m

    [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
    [self.window setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]]; // Change color as per need.

3) Override method in ViewController

- (UIStatusBarStyle) preferredStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}
