A follow-up to people finding this thread:
As I'm using a somewhat dark color for my status bar, I needed to change the black status bar text color to make it readable. Apple only allows this text to be either black or white, and thanks to
this post by
@JanPRO, I learned that it can be controlled using PlistExtra in B4i:
#PlistExtra:<key>UIStatusBarStyle</key>
#PlistExtra:<string>UIStatusBarStyleLightContent</string>
#PlistExtra:<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
#PlistExtra:<false/>
And this is where we do need the key that Erel posted about in #2. (If one leaves it out, the app crashes.)
