Status Bar Text Color on iPhone XR is different

Question

Already checked answers from StackOverflow to change status bar color for the whole app is to set View controller-based status bar appearance in info.plist to NO and Status bar style to UIStatusBarStyleLightContent .

Well it did change from iPhone XS and lower, but iPhone XR and iPhone XS Max were not, Still solid black. I tried to find in code if there is a code that called UIStatusBarStyleDefault but I dont see it anywhere. My current fix now is to put this [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent]; on didFinishLaunchingWithOptions . Any thoughts? Thanks

In iOS 12, setting NO at View controller-based status bar appearance in Info.plist won't work anymore; you must set it to YES . Your workaround is the recommended way to do so.
