How to change the status bar background color and text color on iOS 13?

You can add some conditions or use first one. Just create some extension for UIApplication.

extension UIApplication {
var statusBarUIView: UIView? {
if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let tag = 38482
let keyWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.filter {$0.isKeyWindow}.first

if let statusBar = keyWindow?.viewWithTag(tag) {
return statusBar
} else {
guard let statusBarFrame = keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame else { return nil }
let statusBarView = UIView(frame: statusBarFrame)
statusBarView.tag = tag
keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBarView)
return statusBarView
}
} else if responds(to: Selector(("statusBar"))) {
return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView
} else {
return nil
}
}
}

UPDATED: Sorry, I don't have enough time to test it in real projects, but it works in "Hello world" app. You can read more info about [keyWindow][1] and [statusBarFrame][2] in order to make it better.

extension UIApplication {
var statusBarUIView: UIView? {

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let tag = 3848245

let keyWindow = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes
.map({$0 as? UIWindowScene})
.compactMap({$0})
.first?.windows.first

if let statusBar = keyWindow?.viewWithTag(tag) {
return statusBar
} else {
let height = keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame ?? .zero
let statusBarView = UIView(frame: height)
statusBarView.tag = tag
statusBarView.layer.zPosition = 999999

keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBarView)
return statusBarView
}

} else {

if responds(to: Selector(("statusBar"))) {
return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView
}
}
return nil
}
}

if (@available(iOS 13, *))
{
UIView *statusBar = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.windowScene.statusBarManager.statusBarFrame] ;
statusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:statusBar];

}

This is the best answer I have ever seen.. Cheers


if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let app = UIApplication.shared
let statusBarHeight: CGFloat = app.statusBarFrame.size.height

let statusbarView = UIView()
statusbarView.backgroundColor = ColorPalette.grayChateau
view.addSubview(statusbarView)

statusbarView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
statusbarView.heightAnchor
.constraint(equalToConstant: statusBarHeight).isActive = true
statusbarView.widthAnchor
.constraint(equalTo: view.widthAnchor, multiplier: 1.0).isActive = true
statusbarView.topAnchor
.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true
statusbarView.centerXAnchor
.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor).isActive = true

} else {
let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView
statusBar?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
}

I have encountered this issue before. My application got crash while I run this code using XCode 11 and Swift 5.0.

Previous Code:-

UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(red: 243/250, green: 243/250, blue: 243/250, alpha: 1)


Just Changed to:-

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
let statusBar = UIView(frame: UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame ?? CGRect.zero)
statusBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(red: 243/250, green: 243/250, blue: 243/250, alpha: 1)
UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBar)
} else {
UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.init(red: 243/250, green: 243/250, blue: 243/250, alpha: 1)
}


Now my problem solved. Happy coding.

this is an ObjC version of most voted answer for those like me who are still using it:

create a category of UIApplication and add it to your project:

@implementation UIApplication (iOS13PorcoDiDio)

- (UIView*) statusBar
{

if([UIDevice getOSVersion] >= 13)
{

const NSUInteger k_TAG_STATUSBAR = 38482458385;

UIView * vStatusBar = [[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow viewWithTag:k_TAG_STATUSBAR];
if(vStatusBar != nil)

return vStatusBar;

else {

UIView *vStatusBar = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarFrame];
[vStatusBar setTag:k_TAG_STATUSBAR];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:vStatusBar];

return vStatusBar;

}

} else if([UIApplication respondsToSelector:@selector(statusBar)])

return (UIView*)[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBar;

else

return nil;


}

@end

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];
}

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"];
}
