Splash screen default bar style for iOS 13 and light content for pre 13

Question

I want to achieve the following:

• Light content status bar on splash screen when iOS version is < 13
• Default status bar on splash screen when iOS version is 13 (light content when dark mode and dark content when light mode)

These are the options I tried:

• Setting info.plist bar style to Light Content - caused iOS 13 light mode to show the light content bar style.

• Setting info.plist bar style to Default - caused iOS <13 to show the dark content bar style.

• Changing the Interface Style of the splash screen to Dark so that iOS <13 will use the light content bar style.
