Answer 1

In iOS6 you can't change the image or the color of the status bar apart from this 2 styles:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent];

Answer 2

chakra's suggestion to add the line of code:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false

works. Add it to your viewdidloadfunction in the swift files of your controllers. This allows the status bar to be the same color as the navigation bar. I added this as an answer instead of a comment, because I cannot add comments to other answers as yet. The line of code above this line of code does not work for me though.

Answer 3

This works:

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor  = UIColor.untSimeioblue
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
