I tried several solutions from SO for this problem but none of them worked for me. I created a new iOS7 project with one simple view. I tried setting
View controller-based status bar appearance to NO
and in AppDelegate:
[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent animated:NO];
However this removes the status bar completely.
Without the View controller-based status bar appearance option, Regardless what I set for Status bar style in the plist file, the status bar text is still black. I need it to be white for the entire application. Is this possible?
I am on latest xcode version.
