I have 2 types of view controller view background - black and white. I have tried setting the status bar in Storyboard for each after setting the plist value "View controller-based status bar appearance" to YES but it keeps showing the dark colored status bar no matter what.
What's the fix?

You need to add the preferredStatusBarStyleto the view controller.
like:
- (UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle {
return UIStatusBarStyleDefault;
}
Where UIStatusBarStyleDefault is dark content, for use on light backgrounds and
UIStatusBarStyleLightContent is for light content, for use on dark backgrounds.
You might need to call [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate]; in the viewDidLoad to inform the system of a change.
