UIApplication setStatusBarX are deprecated as of iOS9 It s deprecated to have UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance NO in your info plist So we should be using preferredStatusBarX in all our view controllers   But it gets more interesting when there s a UINavigationController involved    If navigationBarHidden   true   the child UIViewController s preferredStatusBarX are called  since the child is displaying the content under the status bar  If navigationBarHidden   false  the UINavigationController s preferredStatusBarX are called  after all it is displaying the content under the status bar  The UINavigationController s default preferredStatusBarStyle uses the value from UINav navigationBar barStyle   Default   black status bar content   Black   white status bar content  So if you re setting barTintColor to some custom colour  which you likely are   you also need to set barStyle to  Black to get white status bar content  I d set barStyle to black before setting barTintColor  in case barStyle overrides the barTintColor  An alternative is that you can subclass UINavigationController rather than mucking around with bar style  HOWEVER  if you subclass UINavigationController  you get no control over the status bar if navigationBarHidden   true  Somehow UIKit goes direct to the child UIViewController without asking the UINavigationController in this situation  I would have thought it should be the UINavigationController s responsibility to ask the child  shrugs lt   And modally displayed UIViewController s only get a say in the status bar if modalPresentationStyle    FullScreen  If you ve got a custom presentation style modal view controller and you really want it to control the status bar  you can set modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance   true

To answer the Susitha s question  use setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate  This will make a call to prefersStatusBarHidden to refresh with your desired status bar state  Try this        property  nonatomic  getter isHideStatusBar  BOOL hideStatusBar     Give this a default value early      -  BOOL prefersStatusBarHidden           return self isHideStatusBar             -  void someMethod          triggered by an event or user action      self setHideStatusBar YES        self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate           If you want to see the status bar again  set your property hideStatusBar  or whatever you call it  to NO  Call preferStatusBarHidden indirectly by making another call to   self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate

Here is the Swift version  pre iOS9    override func viewWillAppear animated  Bool        super viewWillAppear animated      UIApplication sharedApplication   setStatusBarHidden true  withAnimation  UIStatusBarAnimation None     override func viewWillDisappear animated  Bool        super viewWillDisappear animated      UIApplication sharedApplication   setStatusBarHidden false  withAnimation  UIStatusBarAnimation None      This also works  iOS7     override func prefersStatusBarHidden   - gt  Bool       return true     You also need to call   setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate     in say viewDidLoad     Note that if you use a SplitView controller  or some other container view controller  you also need to have it return your class when its sent childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden  One way to do this is have a public weak var for say statusController  and return it in this overridden method
