In dark mode style, the status bar disappear cause of dark color.
I added the:
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return .lightContent
}
but the problem is, when I add the method in "viewDidLoad" I get the error:
override can only be specified in class member
any idea how to resolve this?
preferredStatusBarStyle is a member of the UIViewController class. What you want to do here is to override this class member. The snippet in your question have nothing to do in the viewDidLoad method and should be placed in your subclass body like this :
class YourViewController: UIViewController {
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return .lightContent
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
}
preferredStatusBarStyle is called by UIKit.UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance value in your .plist ? Did you call the setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate method in the viewDidLoad as suggested in the linked question ?I am going to answer the question here, maybe it can help someone else:
After hours checking my codes, I found out that I have rootViewController which I used as a authentication then after the authentication user pass to TabbarViewController... which is not rootViewController, I added the:
preferredStatusBarStyle
To my rootViewController and it works.
View controller-based status bar appearance should be YES
