How we can set the Light Content style of Status Bar in iOS 9 for whole application?

Question

I want to apply Light Content style to the whole application.

Following method is deprecated in iOS 9 without the replacement method.

-setStat

Answer 1

You can also used: UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent. It also works in swift3.

Answer 2

You can save yourself a lot of work by using a UINavigationController and setting its navigation bar's barStyle to .Black. You only have to do this once; you can do it in the storyboard editor.

This will automatically turn your status bar's style to .LightContent as long as this UINavigationController is in command.
