f you're looking for UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance
, you'll need to click the little plus sign that appear when you hover over the root element in your plist file.
Once you do that, a new row will appear - select "View controller-based status bar appearance" from the dropdown list and set NO
as its value. (That friendly name is declared internally as UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance
)
Next, calling the following method in your app delegate should set the status bar color to white for all view controllers:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
