I have Searched many Sites even StackOverflow but all I get was It shows how to change colour of text in these bars, there are tremendous Coders are out there working fantastic on both platform, please can any one give me is it could be done? if yes then what is the approach.

  • if you have clearly read the question I have mentioned I don't need only color changing. I need full access. – Ahsan Apr 12 '18 at 15:34

In iOS:

  • Change in info.plist the row View controller-based status bar appearance and set it to NO

  • Change in appDelegate.swift in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

    UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent

  • thanks for considering but I want to completely access to add up some things like strings etc. is that would be possible. ? – Ahsan Apr 12 '18 at 15:48
  • @Ahsan can u explain what u are trying to achieve? with an e.g. with respect to screenshot above. – SwiftNinja95 Apr 13 '18 at 05:27
  • Added now please check. – Ahsan Apr 13 '18 at 05:41
  • I don't think you can do that in iOS . Apple has specifically written in their human interface guidelines "Use the system-provided status bar. People expect the status bar to be consistent systemwide. Don’t replace it with a custom status bar." for reference :https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/bars/status-bars/ – SwiftNinja95 Apr 13 '18 at 06:37
  • I think you can either completely hide your status bar or u can add a UIView on top of the staus bar of size (320 x 20) but whether it will be accepted in App Store or not.... I have no guarantee – SwiftNinja95 Apr 13 '18 at 06:42
  • okay Thankyou, but I need that UIView to pe placed on there if the app is in background state . would that be possible . – Ahsan Apr 13 '18 at 07:05
  • nope... it can only work on particular functionalities such as gps, voice and all – SwiftNinja95 Apr 13 '18 at 09:45
