In iOS13 the status bar background colour is different from the navigation bar in large text mode

Pre-conditions to reproduce the problem:

1. Xcode 11 beta + iOS 13 (latest version until Jun. 12 2019)
2. The navigation bar is in Large text mode
3. Specify the colour of navigation bar.

The status bar will remain in white in a real device, above the green navigation bar.

Solutions I tried:

1. Revert it back to iOS12 will solve it, but we will encounter iOS13 eventually...
2. disabling the large text mode will solve it...
3. hide the status bar will fix it, but it will cause status text overlapping with navigation bar item.

Any ideas? appreciate any help.

Solution 1:

No hacks or funkiness required here. The key is defining the desired appearance and setting this value on BOTH the nav bar's standardAppearance AND its scrollEdgeAppearance. I have the following in the init for my base navigation controller subclass for my entire app:

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
    let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
    navBarAppearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground()
    navBarAppearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
    navBarAppearance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
    navBarAppearance.backgroundColor = <insert your color here>
    navigationBar.standardAppearance = navBarAppearance
    navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance
}

Solution 2:

If the problem is that you'd like to give the navigation bar a color when the large title is showing, use the new UINavigationBarAppearance class.

let app = UINavigationBarAppearance()
app.backgroundColor = .blue
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = app

Solution 3:

On iOS 13, navigation bars using large title have a transparent color per Apple human interface guidelines. See more infos here:

In iOS 13 and later, a large title navigation bar doesn’t include a background material or shadow by default. Also, a large title transitions to a standard title as people begin scrolling the content

Solution 4:

Universal code

let navBarAppearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
navBarAppearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground()
navBarAppearance.backgroundColor = // your color
navBarAppearance.shadowImage = nil // line
navBarAppearance.shadowColor = nil // line
UINavigationBar.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UINavigationController.self]).standardAppearance = navBarAppearance
UINavigationBar.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UINavigationController.self]).scrollEdgeAppearance = navBarAppearance
