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.

如果有人正在使用一个导航控制器，并希望他们所有的导航控制器都有黑色风格，你可以在Swift 3中写一个扩展到UINavigationController，它将应用于所有的导航控制器(而不是一次分配给一个控制器)。

extension UINavigationController {

    override open func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.black
    }

}

在Swift中，对于任何类型的UIViewController:

在你的AppDelegate集合中:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    window!.rootViewController = myRootController
    return true
}

myRootController可以是任何类型的UIViewController，例如UITabBarController或UINavigationController。

然后，像这样重写这个根控制器:

class RootController: UIViewController {
    override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
        return .LightContent
    }
}

这将改变状态栏在整个应用程序中的外观，因为根控制器只负责状态栏的外观。

记住在你的信息中将基于视图控制器的状态栏外观属性设置为YES。Plist使其工作(这是默认值)。

大多数答案都不包括UINavigationController的childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle方法的良好实现。根据我的经验，你应该处理这样的情况，当透明的视图控制器在导航控制器。在这些情况下，你应该把控制传递给你的模态控制器(visibleViewController)，但不要在它消失的时候。

override var childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle: UIViewController? {
  var childViewController = visibleViewController
  if let controller = childViewController, controller.isBeingDismissed {
    childViewController = topViewController
  }
  return childViewController?.childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle ?? childViewController
}

如果你的viewController在UINavigationController下面。

子类UINavigationController并添加

override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return topViewController?.preferredStatusBarStyle ?? .default
}

ViewController的preferredStatusBarStyle将被调用。

除了serenn的回答，如果你用modalPresentationStyle(例如.overCurrentContext)呈现一个视图控制器，你也应该在新呈现的视图控制器上调用这个:

presentedViewController.modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance = true

不要忘记在呈现的视图控制器中重写preferredStatusBarStyle。
