How to change the status bar background color and

Question

With the arrival of iOS 13 statusBar's view is no longer accessible trough:

value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView

Due to:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'App called -statusBar or -statusBarWindow on UIApplication: this code must be changed as there's no longer a status bar or status bar window. Use the statusBarManager object on the window scene instead.'

But it's not clear how it should be used for changing colours as keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager does not appear to contain anything related to it.

I'm compiling my code with (iOS 10, *) compatibility, so I intend to continue using UIKit.

Any ideas regarding this subject?

for swift 5.0 I've done this to change background color,

    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
           let window = UIApplication.shared.windows.filter {$0.isKeyWindow}.first 
           // Reference - https://stackoverflow.com/a/57899013/7316675
           let statusBar = UIView(frame: window?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame ?? CGRect.zero)
           statusBar.backgroundColor = .white
           window?.addSubview(statusBar)
    } else {
           UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = .white
           UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent
    }

Unfortunately Apple deprecated some of the mentioned methods of accessing the status bar and editing its attributes. You will have to use the The StatusBarManager object of the WindowScene. The following method works for iOS 13 and above:

extension UINavigationController {

    func setStatusBar(backgroundColor: UIColor) {
        let statusBarFrame: CGRect
        if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            statusBarFrame = view.window?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame ?? CGRect.zero
        } else {
            statusBarFrame = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame
        }
        let statusBarView = UIView(frame: statusBarFrame)
        statusBarView.backgroundColor = backgroundColor
        view.addSubview(statusBarView)
    }

}

Tested and 100% worked for me

func statusBarColorChange(){

    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {

            let statusBar = UIView(frame: UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame ?? CGRect.zero)
            statusBar.backgroundColor = AppThemeColor
            statusBar.tag = 100
            UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBar)

    } else {

            let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView
            statusBar?.backgroundColor = AppThemeColor

        }
    }
}

remove status bar from the key window

func removeStatusBar(){

    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {

        UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.viewWithTag(100)?.removeFromSuperview()

    }
}

in viewDidLoad and viewWillAppear call above function

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)

    removeStatusBar()
    statusBarColorChange()
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    removeStatusBar()
    statusBarColorChange()

}

Use the following code:

if (@available(iOS 13, *)) {
    let statusBar1 =  UIView()
    statusBar1.frame = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame
    statusBar1.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
    UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBar1)
}

to achieve this result:

Answer 5

you can try this

if (@available(iOS 13, *))
{
    UIView *_localStatusBar = [[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.windowScene.statusBarManager performSelector:@selector(createLocalStatusBar)];
    statusBar = [_localStatusBar performSelector:@selector(statusBar)];
}
else
{
    statusBar = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] valueForKey:@"statusBar"];
}

Answer 6

I do this, can get statusBar,but set statusBar backgroundColor do not work

UIView *statusBar;
if (@available(iOS 13, *)) {
    UIView *_localStatusBar = [[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.windowScene.statusBarManager performSelector:@selector(createLocalStatusBar)];
    statusBar = [_localStatusBar performSelector:@selector(statusBar)];
}
else {
    statusBar = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] valueForKey:@"statusBar"];
}
if ([statusBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundColor:)]) {
    statusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
}
