iOS 7 : How to change the status bar text color as white in one view controller and black in second view controller?

Question

I need to change the color of status bar text in first view controller to white and in the second view controller it should change to black. Tried with View controller-based status bar appearance to NO and called

-(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
{
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}

But it was not changing. Please suggest me.

try this code in viewdidload method of desired viewcontroller [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent]; [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate]; working in my case — Muhammad Waqas Bhati, Jan 26 '15 at 10:50

Go to your Plist file and add this property with Bool YES.

Then use

-(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
{
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
}

Have a look into attached screenshot-

You need to have view controller based status bar appearance set to YES for preferredStatusBarStyle to work. If you're still having issues after that then take a look at this SO question: preferredStatusBarStyle isn't called
