对于任何使用UINavigationController的人:

UINavigationController不会转发preferredStatusBarStyle调用给它的子视图控制器。相反，它管理自己的状态——就像它应该做的那样，它在屏幕顶部绘制状态栏，因此应该对状态栏负责。因此，在导航控制器中实现preferredStatusBarStyle在vc中什么都不会做——它们永远不会被调用。

诀窍是UINavigationController使用什么来决定UIStatusBarStyleDefault或uistatusbarstyelightcontent返回什么。它基于它的UINavigationBar.barStyle。默认的(UIBarStyleDefault)导致前景UIStatusBarStyleDefault状态栏为黑色。UIBarStyleBlack会给出一个uistatusbarstyelightcontent状态栏。

TL; diana:

如果你想在UINavigationController上使用UIStatusBarStyleLightContent:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;

这是我解决这个问题的方法。

定义一个名为AGViewControllerAppearance的协议。

AGViewControllerAppearance.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@protocol AGViewControllerAppearance <NSObject>

@optional

- (BOOL)showsStatusBar;
- (BOOL)animatesStatusBarVisibility;
- (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle;
- (UIStatusBarAnimation)prefferedStatusBarAnimation;

@end

在UIViewController上定义一个名为Upgrade的类别。

UIViewController+Upgrade.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UIViewController (Upgrade)

//
//  Replacements
//

- (void)upgradedViewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated;

@end

UIViewController+Upgrade.m

#import "UIViewController+Upgrade.h"

#import <objc/runtime.h>

#import "AGViewControllerAppearance.h" // This is the appearance protocol

@implementation UIViewController (Upgrade)

+ (void)load
{
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wselector"
    Method viewWillAppear = class_getInstanceMethod(self, @selector(viewWillAppear:));
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
    Method upgradedViewWillAppear = class_getInstanceMethod(self, @selector(upgradedViewWillAppear:));
    method_exchangeImplementations(viewWillAppear, upgradedViewWillAppear);
}

#pragma mark - Implementation

- (void)upgradedViewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    //
    //  Call the original message (it may be a little confusing that we're
    //  calling the 'same' method, but we're actually calling the original one :) )
    //

    [self upgradedViewWillAppear:animated];

    //
    //  Implementation
    //

    if ([self conformsToProtocol:@protocol(AGViewControllerAppearance)])
    {
        UIViewController <AGViewControllerAppearance> *viewControllerConformingToAppearance =
        (UIViewController <AGViewControllerAppearance> *)self;

        //
        //  Status bar
        //

        if ([viewControllerConformingToAppearance respondsToSelector:@selector(preferredStatusBarStyle)])
        {
            BOOL shouldAnimate = YES;

            if ([viewControllerConformingToAppearance respondsToSelector:@selector(animatesStatusBarVisibility)])
            {
                shouldAnimate = [viewControllerConformingToAppearance animatesStatusBarVisibility];
            }

            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:[viewControllerConformingToAppearance preferredStatusBarStyle]
                                                        animated:shouldAnimate];
        }

        if ([viewControllerConformingToAppearance respondsToSelector:@selector(showsStatusBar)])
        {
            UIStatusBarAnimation animation = UIStatusBarAnimationSlide;

            if ([viewControllerConformingToAppearance respondsToSelector:@selector(prefferedStatusBarAnimation)])
            {
                animation = [viewControllerConformingToAppearance prefferedStatusBarAnimation];
            }

            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:(! [viewControllerConformingToAppearance showsStatusBar])
                                                    withAnimation:animation];
        }
    }
}

@end

现在，是时候说你的视图控制器正在实现AGViewControllerAppearance协议。

例子:

@interface XYSampleViewController () <AGViewControllerAppearance>

... the rest of the interface

@end

当然，你可以实现其余的方法(showsStatusBar, animatesStatusBarVisibility, prefereredstatusbaranimation)从协议和UIViewController+升级将做适当的 基于它们提供的值进行定制。

对于iOS 13.4, UINavigationController类别中的preferredStatusBarStyle方法将不会被调用，swizzling似乎是唯一的选择，不需要使用子类。

例子:

分类标题:

@interface UINavigationController (StatusBarStyle)
+ (void)setUseLightStatusBarStyle;
@end

实现:

#import "UINavigationController+StatusBarStyle.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

@implementation UINavigationController (StatusBarStyle)

void (^swizzle)(Class, SEL, SEL) = ^(Class c, SEL orig, SEL new){
    Method origMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(c, orig);
    Method newMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(c, new);
    if(class_addMethod(c, orig, method_getImplementation(newMethod), method_getTypeEncoding(newMethod)))
        class_replaceMethod(c, new, method_getImplementation(origMethod), method_getTypeEncoding(origMethod));
    else
        method_exchangeImplementations(origMethod, newMethod);
};

+ (void)setUseLightStatusBarStyle {
    swizzle(self.class, @selector(preferredStatusBarStyle), @selector(_light_preferredStatusBarStyle));
}

- (UIStatusBarStyle)_light_preferredStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}    
@end

在AppDelegate.h中的用法:

#import "UINavigationController+StatusBarStyle.h"

[UINavigationController setUseLightStatusBarStyle];

所以我实际上添加了一个category到UINavigationController，但是使用了这些方法:

-(UIViewController *)childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle;
-(UIViewController *)childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden;

让它们返回当前可见的UIViewController。这让当前可见视图控制器设置它自己的首选样式/可见性。

下面是它的完整代码片段:

迅速:

extension UINavigationController {

    public override func childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden() -> UIViewController? {
        return self.topViewController
    }

    public override func childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle() -> UIViewController? {
        return self.topViewController
    }
}

在objective - c中:

@interface UINavigationController (StatusBarStyle)

@end

@implementation UINavigationController (StatusBarStyle)

-(UIViewController *)childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle {
    return self.topViewController;
}

-(UIViewController *)childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden {
    return self.topViewController;
}

@end

为了更好地衡量，这是它如何在UIViewController中实现的:

在斯威夫特

override public func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .LightContent
}

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
    return false
}

在objective - c中

-(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent; // your own style
}

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return NO; // your own visibility code
}

最后，确保你的app plist没有将“基于视图控制器的状态栏外观”设置为NO。要么删除这一行，要么将其设置为YES(我相信这是iOS 7的默认设置?)

Swift 4.2及以上版本

正如所选答案中提到的，根本原因是检查您的窗口根视图控制器对象。

流结构的可能情况

Custom UIViewController object is window root view controller Your window root view controller is a UIViewController object and it further adds or removes navigation controller or tabController based on your application flow. This kind of flow is usually used if your app has pre login flow on navigation stack without tabs and post login flow with tabs and possibly every tab further holds navigation controller. TabBarController object is window root view controller This is the flow where window root view controller is tabBarController possibly every tab further holds navigation controller. NavigationController object is window root view controller This is the flow where window root view controller is navigationController. I am not sure if there is any possibility to add tab bar controller or new navigation controller in an existing navigation controller. But if there is such case, we need to pass the status bar style control to the next container. So, I added the same check in UINavigationController extension to find childForStatusBarStyle

使用以下扩展，它处理所有上述场景-

extension UITabBarController {
    open override var childForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
        return selectedViewController?.childForStatusBarStyle ?? selectedViewController
    }
}

extension UINavigationController {
    open override var childForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
        return topViewController?.childForStatusBarStyle ?? topViewController
    }
}

extension AppRootViewController {
    open override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
        return children.first { $0.childForStatusBarStyle != nil }?.childForStatusBarStyle?.preferredStatusBarStyle ?? .default
    }
}

在info中你不需要UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance键。Plist默认为true

对于更复杂的流程，需要考虑的要点

In case you present new flow modally, it detaches from the existing status bar style flow. So, suppose you are presenting a NewFlowUIViewController and then add new navigation or tabBar controller to NewFlowUIViewController, then add extension of NewFlowUIViewController as well to manage further view controller's status bar style. In case you set modalPresentationStyle other than fullScreen while presenting modally, you must set modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance to true so that presented view controller must receive status bar appearance control.

NavigationController或TabBarController是需要提供样式的。以下是我的解决方法:https://stackoverflow.com/a/39072526/242769
