Get Status Bar View in iOS 13 and above

As you know most of the apps updates status bar as they desire but with the arrival of iOS 13 status bar’s view is no longer accessible through:

value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView

OR

extension UIApplication {
    var statusBarView: UIView? {
        return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView
    }
}

value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView

extension UIApplication {

var statusBarView: UIView? {

return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView

}

To get the status bar view properties below code works for me in my project-

extension UIApplication {
    var statusBarView: UIView? {
        if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
            let tag = 38482
            let keyWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.first
            if let statusBar = keyWindow?.viewWithTag(tag) {
                return statusBar
            } else {
                guard let statusBarFrame = keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame else {
                    return nil
                }
                let statusBarView = UIView(frame: statusBarFrame)
                statusBarView.tag = tag
                keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBarView)
                return statusBarView
            }
        } else {
            return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView
        }
    }
}

extension UIApplication {

var statusBarView: UIView? {

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {

let tag = 38482

let keyWindow = UIApplication.shared.windows.first

if let statusBar = keyWindow?.viewWithTag(tag) {

return statusBar

} else {

guard let statusBarFrame = keyWindow?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame else {

return nil

}

let statusBarView = UIView(frame: statusBarFrame)

statusBarView.tag = tag

keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBarView)

return statusBarView

}

} else {

return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView

}

Uses:

UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 231/255, green: 24/255, blue: 34/255, alpha: 1.0)

1	UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 231/255, green: 24/255, blue: 34/255, alpha: 1.0)
