"Change" status bar background color:

let statusBarView = UIView(frame: UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame)
let statusBarColor = UIColor(red: 32/255, green: 149/255, blue: 215/255, alpha: 1.0)
statusBarView.backgroundColor = statusBarColor
view.addSubview(statusBarView)

Change status bar text color:

override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .lightContent
}

Update: please note that the status bar frame will change when the view is rotated. You could update the created subview frame by:

Using the autoresizing mask: statusBarView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleTopMargin]

Observing NSNotification.Name.UIApplicationWillChangeStatusBarOrientation
Or overriding viewWillLayoutSubviews()
