Change status bar style with animation

Question

Since UIApplication.shared.setStatusBarStyle(.default, animated: true) is deprecated from IOS9 is it possible to change status bar style with animation on push? I cannot find any description in docs.

Answer 1

It's now a variable you have to override:

override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle
override var preferredStatusBarUpdateAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation

Depending on when you update the status bar, you might also have to call setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()
