How to set launch screen status bar color to white?

Question

My application's launch screen has a dark background color, so I'd like to set the status bar color to white while it's showing.

This differs from the question asked in How to change status bar style - iOS 12. That solution works for me for view controllers once the application is running but I can't find a way to apply it to the launch screen.

For that you have to change Status Bar Style to Light from "General" tab under project target.

How to set in the entire app

Above only change the status bar color of launch screen to white & rest of controller have black color. If you wanted to change the entire project status bar color to white then add below too :

On you project plist file:

Status bar style: UIStatusBarStyleLightContent
View controller-based status bar appearance: NO
Status bar is initially hidden: NO

That worked but shouldn't it be the other way around? Light content -> black status bar – Dennis Barzanoff May 27 '21 at 08:55
@DenisBarzanov Content refers to the content of the status bar, this had me confused for a long time. – Balázs Vincze Mar 31 '22 at 14:50

This is not working for me, any idea what else could be messing with it? – Kashif Oct 28 '22 at 22:00
