iOS Custom Status Bar Background Color not displaying

Question

I am trying to fill the status bar background color to orange using the following

UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
UINavigation         


        

Answer 1

After what u did in info.plist to the following: View controller-based status bar appearance => NO.

Add this code in AppDelegate.swift file under didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

var navigationBarAppearace = UINavigationBar.appearance()

navigationBarAppearace.tintColor = uicolorFromHex(0xffffff)
navigationBarAppearace.barTintColor = uicolorFromHex(0x2E9AFE)

// change navigation item title color
navigationBarAppearace.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.whiteColor()]

UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent

and u can select any hex code for ur choice of color..!! Enjoy..!!

Sorry, forgot to use hexcode you will be needing this also so add this code anywhere in your AppDelegate.swift:

func uicolorFromHex(rgbValue:UInt32)->UIColor {

    let red = CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16)/256.0

    let green = CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8)/256.0

    let blue = CGFloat(rgbValue & 0xFF)/256.0

    return UIColor(red:red, green:green, blue:blue, alpha:1.0)
}
