Setting statusbarStyle (deprecated in iOS 9.0)

Question

Just downloaded the new xCode 10.0 and saw that the old statusBarStyle has been deprecated since iOS 9.0.

Warning: Setter for \'statusBarStyle\

Answer 1

Set your darkMode variable using the same code you have now, then use it in the computed variable that the system is expecting:

var darkMode = false
override var preferredStatusBarStyle : UIStatusBarStyle {
    return darkMode ? .default : .lightContent
}

Depending on the context you may need to force a refresh of the screen for it to take effect. You would do that with the following call:

setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()
