iOS WKWebView Status Bar Padding

Question

I have been endlessly searching for an answer for this that works. I am trying to create a very simple WKWebView application to wrap out web app. I don't need anything fancy as navigation controls are all within the application.

Currently my ViewController.swift file looks like this:

Swift version: Apple Swift version 3.1 (swiftlang-802.0.53 clang-802.0.42)

The issue is the padding for the status bar, I would like to adjust it so that the status bar wasn't on top of the content as it is here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am very new to iOS development. I would also like to be able to change the status bar color, but it isn't an immediate concern at this time.

I solved this problem using autolayout constraints, Please check

import UIKit
import WebKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate {

        var webView: WKWebView!


        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()


            setupWebView()

            let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com")
            let request = URLRequest(url: url!)
            webView.load(request)
    }

    func setupWebView() {
            let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()

            webView = WKWebView(frame:.zero , configuration: webConfiguration)
            webView.uiDelegate = self
            //view = webView
            view.addSubview(webView)
            webView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

            view.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "H:|[v0]|", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions(), metrics: nil, views: ["v0":webView]))
            view.addConstraints(NSLayoutConstraint.constraints(withVisualFormat: "V:|-20-[v0]|", options: NSLayoutFormatOptions(), metrics: nil, views: ["v0":webView]))
    }

        override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
                super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
                // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
        }
}

Hope it helps.
