iOS Question iOS statusBar object replaced (?) - runtime error

[Mike1970]

Hi, in this thread i was worried because a project I was coding month before stopped working with no changes.
After some tips from the guys who helped me, i discovered that this istuction does not work anymore, and causes the crash of the app (in my particular case no log message was dispalyed).

Dim no As NativeObject = App
no.GetField("statusBar").SetField("backgroundColor", no.ColorToUIColor(0xFFBB4B4B))

The error is:

App called -statusBar or -statusBarWindow on UIApplication: this code must be changed as there's no longer a status bar or status bar window. Use the statusBarManager object on the window scene instead.

Anyone knows how to achieve the same result now (Change the color of the statusbar)?

Edit:
Also the navigationBar behaves strange..

Dim no As NativeObject = Main.NavControl
no.GetField("navigationBar").SetField("prefersLargeTitles", True)
no.GetField("navigationBar").SetField("translucent", False)
no = ContactListPg
no.GetField("navigationItem").SetField("largeTitleDisplayMode", 1) 'always

Result:


Edit2:
if i remove this line the navigationbar show "correctly", but in standard mode obviouslly not with Large title

no.GetField("navigationBar").SetField("prefersLargeTitles", True)

I have the same question. Just tried to create an update and got the same error message. Where can I find the statusBarManager object?

when this change happened?

 

[so27]

Must have been since yesterday or the day before, because before that I could easily create an update.

oh ok, so I choosen the right moment to take back the project ahaha, and discover that the things just changed under my feet

I just commented out the code. The app then starts and the StatusBar has the same color as the NavigationBar. I use the following code for the NavigationBar.

    Dim no As NativeObject = NavControl
    no.GetField("navigationBar").RunMethod("setBarTintColor:", Array(no.ColorToUIColor(0xFF4BAE4F))) ' Navbar

But ... where can I find this statusBarManager object?

Actually i tried this line in my code and the navigation bar stays black (I don't know why) Take a look at my edit in the first post.
Have you something similar?

I only use:

    ' Because of status bar (color)
    #PlistExtra: <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key><false/>

and in "Application_Start":

 Dim no As NativeObject = NavControl
    no.GetField("navigationBar").RunMethod("setBarTintColor:", Array(no.ColorToUIColor(0xFF4BAE4F))) ' Navbar

Oh ok, i used also large titles.

So, now the problems are:
- Find how to change color ONLY of the statusbar
- Find how to display large title correctly

 

[so27]

To change the color ONLY of the StatusBar, I'm currently also overwhelmed.

sad story

@Erel surely knows an answer to this.

Your existing code should still work on devices not running iOS 13 - but for iOS 13+ you need to use the StatusBarManager. This thread might help you. Also, Google is a good place to find more info about these kinds of issues because they generally aren't specific to B4X.
