iOS 13 status bar style

I want to change the status bar style on a per-ViewController level on iOS 13. So far I didn't have any luck.
I define UIUserInterfaceStyle as Light in info.plist (as I do not want to support dark mode) and set UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to true. preferredStatusBarStyle is called on my ViewController but completely ignored. The UIUserInterfaceStyle seems to always override the VC preferences. How do I get per-ViewController status bar style working on iOS 13? Or is it not supported any more?

iOS 13.2, Swift 5.1

For me nothing worked from solutions mentioned before. After 5 hours I ended up on modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance flag .

    destinationNavigationController.modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance = true
    sourceViewController.present(destinationNavigationController, animated: animated, completion: nil)

After this preferredStatusBarStyle was called in presented VC.

override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
        if traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle == .light {
            return .darkContent
        } else {
            return .lightContent
        }
    } else {
        return .lightContent
    }
}

In iOS13, there is now a .darkContent option for UIStatusBarStyle. For black text, use this (instead of .default) for preferredStatusBarStyle.

In my case, I had a similar issue with incorrect UIStatusBarStyle. For some view controllers in my app, I need to set a dark status bar style ignoring current system color mode. The problem was I used .default value, but in iOS 13 it changes depending on the context. That's why I added a small workaround to handle both iOS 12- and iOS 13+ cases.

private extension UIStatusBarStyle {

    static var darkContentWorkaround: UIStatusBarStyle {
        if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            return .darkContent
        } else {
            return .default
        }
    }

}

i had the same problem on iOS 13 while using navigation controller i was able to change the status bar color using

let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()

navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance

but the problem was when i was using present controller the status bar didn't change i used this code on top view controller

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {

    if #available(iOS 13, *)
    {
        let statusBar = UIView(frame: (UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame)!)
        statusBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.systemBackground
        UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBar)
    }
}

you can use your color in "UIColor.systemBackground"

I had the same issue on iOS13 while it was fine on iOS12 for my app. I have a TabBarController which holds 3 NavigationBarControllers, and I present TabBarController from a previous ViewController. I fixed it by setting .modalPresentationStyle to .fullScreen when presenting:

tabbarController.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen

Maybe it will help you somehow...
