Updating status bar appearance by toggling between lightContent and default using UIbutton

I am making an app which allows users to change the theme, eg. changing the background colour. Assuming I have a button, when click, toggles the change in background colour.

Eg. in code:

@IBAction func floodLightAction(sender: AnyObject) {

    previousFloodlightOption = loadFloodlightOption()

    if previousFloodlightOption {

        print("OFF")

        saveFloodlightOption(false)

        // configure theme for themeViewController:

        UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarStyle = .Default

        setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()

        configureFloodlight(false)


    } else {

        print("ONN")

        saveFloodlightOption(true)

        // configure theme for themeViewController:

        UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarStyle = .LightContent

        setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()

        configureFloodlight(true)

    }

However, setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate() does not seem to update the status bar style when the button is pressed. I have a few custom functions which are explained below.

My custom save func:

saveFloodlightOption(bool: Bool)

My theme configuration func:

configureFloodLight(bool: Bool)

I hope I gave enough information, thanks!

Have you set View Controller Based Status bar appearance to false in your info.plist?
