Hippo的回答:如果你正在使用UINavigationController，那么最好添加一个类别:

//  UINavigationController+StatusBarStyle.h:

@interface UINavigationController (StatusBarStyle)

@end



//  UINavigationController+StatusBarStyle.m:

@implementation UINavigationController (StatusBarStyle)

- (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
{
    //also you may add any fancy condition-based code here
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}

@end

这种解决方案可能比切换到即将被弃用的行为要好。

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;

在我的例子中，我意外地将视图/导航控制器呈现为UIModalPresentationStyle。overFullScreen，这导致preferredStatusBarStyle没有被调用。切换回UIModalPresentationStyle后。全屏，一切正常。

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

我的应用程序使用了所有三个:UINavigationController, UISplitViewController, UITabBarController，因此这些似乎都接管了对状态栏的控制，并将导致preferedStatusBarStyle不为他们的孩子被调用。要覆盖此行为，您可以创建一个扩展，就像前面提到的其他答案一样。这是一个扩展，这三个，在Swift 4。希望苹果对这类事情能更清楚些。

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

    open override var childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden: UIViewController? {
        return self.topViewController
    }
}

extension UITabBarController {
    open override var childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
        return self.childViewControllers.first
    }

    open override var childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden: UIViewController? {
        return self.childViewControllers.first
    }
}

extension UISplitViewController {
    open override var childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
        return self.childViewControllers.first
    }

    open override var childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden: UIViewController? {
        return self.childViewControllers.first
    }
}

编辑:针对Swift 4.2 API更改的更新

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

    open override var childForStatusBarHidden: UIViewController? {
        return self.topViewController
    }
}

extension UITabBarController {
    open override var childForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
        return self.children.first
    }

    open override var childForStatusBarHidden: UIViewController? {
        return self.children.first
    }
}

extension UISplitViewController {
    open override var childForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
        return self.children.first
    }

    open override var childForStatusBarHidden: UIViewController? {
        return self.children.first
    }
}
