How to hide status bar in swift?

Question

I used the following code to hide the status bar and it works fine But it works until I go to another page. That is, if I go to another page and go back, it won't work anymore Does anyone know why? Can anyone help me?

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        navigationController?.hidesBarsOnSwipe = true
    }
    override var prefersStatusBarHidden : Bool {
        if self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden == true {
            return true
        } else {
            return false
        }
    }

When you come back and swipe again on navigation bar does it hide the navigation bar? — Sayooj, Dec 18 '19 at 10:50
I've put up an example project [here](https://github.com/sayoojkrishnan/TabBarExample). Check if that works for you. — Sayooj, Dec 19 '19 at 03:46

That's true, but if I go to another viewcontroller and go back, it won't work – isabel marty Dec 18 '19 at 09:25

just add this one

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
// call this func to force preferredStatusBarStyle to be read again.
setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()}

You can hide it from info.plist with option initially hides status bar giving value true

this will hide status bar for your entire app

Then show it to the specific viewcontrollers with following code
```
override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
return false
}
```
